The Boeing Company and Subsidiaries
Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
(Dollars in millions, except per share data)
(Unaudited)
Note 1Basis of Presentation
The condensed consolidated interim financial statements included in this report have been prepared by management of The Boeing Company (herein referred to as “Boeing”, the “Company”, “we”, “us”, or “our”). In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) necessary for a fair presentation are reflected in the interim financial statements. The results of operations for the period ended June 30, 2019 are not necessarily indicative of the operating results for the full year. The interim financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited Consolidated Financial Statements, including the notes thereto, included in our 2018 Annual Report on Form 10-K. Certain amounts in prior periods have been adjusted to conform with the current year presentation.
Standards Issued and Implemented
In the first quarter of 2019, we adopted Accounting Standards Update (ASU) 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842) and recognized on our Condensed Consolidated Statement of Financial Position $1,064 of lease liabilities with corresponding right-of-use assets for operating leases. Our accounting for finance leases and lessor contracts remains substantially unchanged. The standard has no impact to cash provided or used by operating, investing, or financing activities on our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows. As permitted under the standard, we elected prospective application of the new guidance and prior periods continue to be presented in accordance with Topic 840. Refer to our 2018 Annual Report on Form 10-K for disclosures required by Topic 840. We also elected the package of practical expedients, which among other things, does not require reassessment of lease classification.
In the first quarter of 2019, we adopted ASU 2017-12, Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815), using the modified retrospective method. The standard refines and simplifies hedge accounting requirements for both financial and commodity risks. The impact of the adoption was not material. See Note 17 for additional disclosures.

Significant Accounting Policies - Update
Our significant accounting policies are described in "Note 1: Summary of Significant Accounting Policies" of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2018. Our updated significant accounting policies described below reflect the impact of adopting Topic 842.
Leases We determine if an arrangement is, or contains, a lease at the inception date. Operating leases are included in Other assets, with the related liabilities included in Accrued liabilities and Other long-term liabilities. Assets under finance leases are included in Property, plant and equipment, net, with the related liabilities included in Short-term debt and current portion of long-term debt and Long-term debt on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Financial Position.
Operating lease assets represent our right to use an underlying asset for the lease term and lease liabilities represent our obligation to make lease payments arising from the lease. Operating lease assets and liabilities are recognized at the lease commencement date based on the estimated present value of lease payments over the lease term. We use our estimated incremental borrowing rate in determining the present value of lease payments. Variable components of the lease payments such as fair market value adjustments, utilities, and maintenance costs are expensed as incurred and not included in determining the present value. Our lease terms include options to extend or terminate the lease when it is reasonably certain that we will exercise that option. Lease expense is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term.
We have lease agreements with lease and non-lease components which are accounted for as a single lease component.

Table of Contents

Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Changes in estimated revenues, cost of sales and the related effect on operating income are recognized using a cumulative catch-up adjustment which recognizes in the current period the cumulative effect of the changes on current and prior periods based on a long-term contract’s percentage-of-completion. When the current estimates of total sales and costs for a long-term contract indicate a loss, a provision for the entire reach-forward loss on the long-term contract is recognized.
Net cumulative catch-up adjustments to prior years' revenue and earnings, including certain reach-forward losses, across all long-term contracts were as follows:

Note 2 Acquisitions and Joint Ventures
Strategic Partnership with Embraer
During the first quarter of 2019, we entered into definitive transaction documents with respect to a strategic partnership with Embraer S.A. (Embraer). The partnership contemplates that the parties enter into a joint venture comprising the commercial aircraft and services operations of Embraer, in which Boeing will acquire an 80 percent ownership stake for $4,200, as well as a joint venture to promote and develop new markets for the multi-mission medium airlift KC-390, in which Boeing will hold a 49 percent ownership stake. Embraer shareholders approved the transaction, which remains subject to regulatory approvals and other customary closing conditions. Assuming approvals are received in a timely manner, the transaction is expected to close by the end of 2019. If the transaction is not completed due to failure to obtain antitrust approvals, we would be required to pay a termination fee of $100.
Note 3Earnings Per Share
Basic and diluted earnings per share are computed using the two-class method, which is an earnings allocation method that determines earnings per share for common shares and participating securities. The undistributed earnings are allocated between common shares and participating securities as if all earnings had been distributed during the period. Participating securities and common shares have equal rights to undistributed earnings.
Basic earnings per share is calculated by taking net earnings, less earnings available to participating securities, divided by the basic weighted average common shares outstanding.
Diluted earnings per share is calculated by taking net earnings, less earnings available to participating securities, divided by the diluted weighted average common shares outstanding.

Diluted earnings per share includes any dilutive impact of stock options, restricted stock units, performance-based restricted stock units and performance awards.
As a result of incurring a net loss for the six and three months ended June 30, 2019, potential common shares of 4.4 million and 4.0 million were excluded from diluted loss per share because the effect would have been antidilutive. In addition, the following table includes the number of shares that may be dilutive potential common shares in the future. These shares were not included in the computation of diluted earnings/(loss) per share because the effect was either antidilutive or the performance condition was not met.

Note 4Income Taxes
Our effective income tax rates were 27.5% and 14.2% for the six and three months ended June 30, 2019 and 13.9% and 15.1% for the same periods in the prior year. The tax rates in 2019 and 2018 reflect the U.S. federal tax rate of 21% reduced by tax benefits associated with intangible income derived from serving non-U.S. markets, research and development tax credits and excess tax benefits related to share-based payments. The tax rates in 2019 differ from 2018 primarily due to the tax benefits recorded in 2019 as a result of pre-tax losses.
Federal income tax audits have been settled for all years prior to 2015. The Internal Revenue Service (IRS) began the 2015-2017 federal tax audit in the first quarter of 2019. We are also subject to examination in major state and international jurisdictions for the 2001-2017 tax years. We believe appropriate provisions for all outstanding tax issues have been made for all jurisdictions and all open years.

Long-Term Contracts in Progress
Long-term contracts in progress includes Delta launch program inventory that is being sold at cost to United Launch Alliance (ULA) under an inventory supply agreement that terminates on March 31, 2021. The inventory balance was $193 and $227 at June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018. See indemnifications to ULA in Note 12.
Included in inventories are capitalized precontract costs of $727 at June 30, 2019 and $644 at December 31, 2018 primarily related to the KC-46A Tanker. See Note 11.
Commercial Aircraft Programs
At June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, commercial aircraft programs inventory included the following amounts related to the 787 program: $26,750 and $27,852 of work in process (including deferred production costs of $20,969 and $22,967), $2,323 and $2,453 of supplier advances, and $2,354 and $2,638 of unamortized tooling and other non-recurring costs. At June 30, 2019, $15,297 of 787 deferred production costs, unamortized tooling and other non-recurring costs are expected to be recovered from units included in the program accounting quantity that have firm orders and $8,026 is expected to be recovered from units included in the program accounting quantity that represent expected future orders.
At June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, commercial aircraft programs inventory included $1,507 and $463 of deferred production costs and $517 and $471 of unamortized tooling and other non-recurring costs related to the 737 program. At June 30, 2019, $2,021 of 737 deferred production costs, unamortized tooling and other non-recurring costs are expected to be recovered from units included in the program accounting quantity that have firm orders and $3 is expected to be recovered from units included in the program accounting quantity that represent expected future orders.
Commercial aircraft programs inventory included amounts credited in cash or other consideration (early issue sales consideration) to airline customers totaling $2,718 and $2,844 at June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018.
Note 6Contracts with Customers
Unbilled receivables increased from $10,025 at December 31, 2018 to $10,247 at June 30, 2019, primarily driven by revenue recognized at BDS and BGS in excess of billings.
Advances and progress billings increased from $50,676 at December 31, 2018 to $52,523 at June 30, 2019, primarily driven by advances on orders received in excess of revenue recognized at BCA, BDS and BGS.
Revenues recognized during the six months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018 from amounts recorded as Advances and progress billings at the beginning of each year were $10,116 and $12,757. Revenues

We acquire aircraft to be leased to customers through trades, lease returns, purchases in the secondary market, and new aircraft transferred from our Commercial Airplanes segment. Leasing arrangements typically range in terms from 1 to 12 years and may include options to extend or terminate the lease. Certain leases include provisions to allow the lessee to purchase the underlying aircraft at a specified price. A minority of leases contain variable lease payments based on actual aircraft usage and are paid in arrears.
We determine a receivable is impaired when, based on current information and events, it is probable that we will be unable to collect amounts due according to the original contractual terms. At June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, we individually evaluated for impairment customer financing receivables of $402 and $409, of which $391 and $398 were determined to be impaired. We recorded no allowance for losses on these impaired receivables as the collateral values exceeded the carrying values of the receivables.
The adequacy of the allowance for losses is assessed quarterly. Three primary factors influencing the level of our allowance for losses on customer financing receivables are customer credit ratings, default rates and collateral values. We assign internal credit ratings for all customers and determine the creditworthiness of each customer based upon publicly available information and information obtained directly from our customers. Our rating categories are comparable to those used by the major credit rating agencies.
Our financing receivable balances by internal credit rating category are shown below:

Customer Financing Exposure
Customer financing is collateralized by security in the related asset. The value of the collateral is closely tied to commercial airline performance and overall market conditions and may be subject to reduced valuation

with market decline. Declines in collateral values could result in asset impairments, reduced finance lease income, and an increase in the allowance for losses. Our customer financing collateral is concentrated in out-of-production aircraft and 747-8 aircraft. Generally, out-of-production aircraft have experienced greater collateral value declines than in-production aircraft.
The majority of customer financing carrying values are concentrated in the following aircraft models:

As part of selected lease transactions, Boeing may provide incentives to commercial customers. At December 31, 2018, Customer Financing included $250 of lease incentives with one customer experiencing liquidity issues. In the first quarter of 2019, we concluded that these lease incentives were impaired and recorded a charge of $250.
Lease income recorded in Revenue on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations for the six and three months ended June 30, 2019 included $32 and $16 from sales-type/finance leases and $71 and $35 from operating leases.
As of June 30, 2019, undiscounted cash flows for sales-type/finance and operating leases over the next five years and thereafter are as follows:

Note 9Other Assets
Sea Launch
At June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, Other assets included $244 of receivables related to our former investment in the Sea Launch venture which became payable by certain Sea Launch partners following Sea Launch’s bankruptcy filing in June 2009. At June 30, 2019, the net amounts owed to Boeing by each of the partners were as follows: S.P. Koroley Rocket and Space Corporation Energia of Russia (RSC Energia) – $111, PO Yuzhnoye Mashinostroitelny Zavod of Ukraine – $89 and KB Yuzhnoye of Ukraine – $44.
In 2013, we filed an action in the United States District Court for the Central District of California seeking reimbursement from the other Sea Launch partners. In 2016, the United States District Court for the Central District of California issued a judgment in favor of Boeing. Later that year, we reached an agreement which we believe will enable us to recover the outstanding receivable balance from RSC Energia over the next several years. We continue to pursue collection efforts against the former Ukrainian partners in connection with the court judgment. We continue to believe the partners have the financial wherewithal to pay and intend to pursue vigorously all of our rights and remedies. In the event we are unable to secure reimbursement from RSC Energia and the Ukrainian Sea Launch partners, we could incur additional charges.
Note 10Leases
Our operating lease assets primarily represent manufacturing and research and development facilities, warehouses, and offices. Our finance leases primarily represent computer equipment and are not significant. Total operating lease expense was $159 and $75 for six and three months ended June 30, 2019, of which $25 and $11 was attributable to variable lease expenses.
For the six and three months ended June 30, 2019 cash payments against operating lease liabilities totaled $136 and $66 and non-cash transactions totaled $137 and $112 to recognize operating assets and liabilities for new leases.

Note 11Commitments and Contingencies
737 MAX Grounding
On March 13, 2019, the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) issued an order to suspend operations of all 737 MAX aircraft in the U.S. and by U.S. aircraft operators following two fatal 737 MAX accidents. Non-U.S. civil aviation authorities have issued directives to the same effect. We are working closely with the relevant government authorities to support both accident investigations. We are also fully cooperating with other U.S. government investigations related to the accidents. While production continues on the 737 MAX, deliveries have been suspended until clearance is granted by the appropriate regulatory authorities.
We have been developing a software update to the Maneuvering Characteristics Augmentation System (MCAS) on the 737 MAX, together with an associated pilot training and supplementary education program. We continue to work with the FAA and other regulatory agencies worldwide to develop and certify the software update and training program. Additionally, on June 26, 2019, the FAA directed us to address a specific condition of flight, unrelated to MCAS, that the planned software update did not previously address. We agreed with the FAA's decision and are currently working on the software update to address this requirement, and we will not offer the 737 MAX for certification until we have satisfied all requirements for certification and the safe return of the 737 MAX to service. Charges recognized during the first half of 2019 associated with the software updates and related pilot training were immaterial.

Table of Contents

Prior to the grounding, Boeing had delivered 387 737 MAX aircraft of which 57 were delivered in the first quarter of 2019. On April 5, 2019, we announced plans to reduce the 737 production rate from 52 aircraft per month to 42 per month effective April 15, 2019. The resulting impacts, which were reflected in the first quarter, increased costs to produce aircraft included in the current accounting quantity by $1,016 and reduced 737 program and overall BCA segment operating margins. We are continuing to produce at 42 aircraft per month and we will continue to evaluate potential future reductions in the production rate, including a temporary shutdown in 737 production. During the second quarter of 2019, estimated costs to produce aircraft included in the current accounting quantity increased by $1,748 primarily due to higher costs associated with a longer than expected reduction in the production rate. Prior to the grounding, we expected 737 MAX deliveries to approximate 90 percent of total 737 deliveries in 2019 and we had planned to increase the production rate to 57 per month in 2019. In addition to the grounding, the timing of 737 MAX deliveries during the first quarter was adversely affected by delays in the supply chain. We may face additional costs, delays in return to service, and/or further reductions in the production rate.
The grounding has reduced revenues, operating earnings and cash flows during the first half of 2019 and will continue to adversely affect our results until deliveries resume and production rates increase. We are also working with our customers to minimize the impact to their operations. In the second quarter, we recorded an earnings charge of $5,610, net of estimated insurance recoveries of $500, in connection with estimated potential concessions and other considerations to customers for disruptions related to the 737 MAX grounding and associated delivery delays. This charge is reflected in the financial statements as a reduction in revenue, an increase in Other current assets and an increase in Accrued liabilities. The charge represents our best estimate of future concessions and other considerations to customers, and is necessarily based on a series of assumptions, including an assumption with respect to the timing of the 737 MAX’s return to service. While the FAA and other civil aviation authorities will determine the timing and conditions of return to service, this charge assumes that regulatory approval of 737 MAX return to service in the U.S. and other jurisdictions begins early in the fourth quarter of 2019. This assumption reflects our best estimate at this time, but actual timing and conditions of return to service could differ from this estimate, the effect of which could be material. In addition, this charge assumes that we will gradually increase the 737 production rate from 42 per month to 57 per month in 2020, and that 737 MAX airplanes produced during the grounding and included within inventory will be delivered over several quarters following return to service. We are unable at this time to reasonably estimate potential future additional financial impacts or a range of loss, if any, due to continued uncertainties related to the timing and conditions of return to service, future changes to the production rate, supply chain impacts or the results of negotiations with particular customers. Any such impacts, including any changes in our estimates, could have a material adverse effect on our financial position, results of operations, and/or cash flows.

The liabilities recorded represent our best estimate or the low end of a range of reasonably possible costs expected to be incurred to remediate sites, including operation and maintenance over periods of up to 30 years. It is reasonably possible that we may incur charges that exceed these recorded amounts because of regulatory agency orders and directives, changes in laws and/or regulations, higher than expected costs and/or the discovery of new or additional contamination. As part of our estimating process, we develop a range of reasonably possible alternate scenarios that includes the high end of a range of reasonably possible cost estimates for all remediation sites for which we have sufficient information based on our experience and existing laws and regulations. There are some potential remediation obligations where the costs of

Commercial Aircraft Commitments
In conjunction with signing definitive agreements for the sale of new aircraft (Sale Aircraft), we have entered into trade-in commitments with certain customers that give them the right to trade in used aircraft at a specified price upon the purchase of Sale Aircraft. The probability that trade-in commitments will be exercised is determined by using both quantitative information from valuation sources and qualitative information from other sources. The probability of exercise is assessed quarterly, or as events trigger a change, and takes into consideration the current economic and airline industry environments. Trade-in commitments, which can be terminated by mutual consent with the customer, may be exercised only during the period specified in the agreement, and require advance notice by the customer.
Trade-in commitment agreements at June 30, 2019 have expiration dates from 2019 through 2026. At June 30, 2019, and December 31, 2018 total contractual trade-in commitments were $1,456 and $1,519. As of June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, we estimated that it was probable we would be obligated to perform on certain of these commitments with net amounts payable to customers totaling $739 and $522 and the fair value of the related trade-in aircraft was $706 and $485.
Financing Commitments
Financing commitments related to aircraft on order, including options and those proposed in sales campaigns, and refinancing of delivered aircraft, totaled $14,277 and $19,462 as of June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018. The estimated earliest potential funding dates for these commitments as of June 30, 2019 are as follows:

Funding Commitments
We have commitments to make additional capital contributions of $248 to joint ventures over the next 8 years.
Standby Letters of Credit and Surety Bonds
We have entered into standby letters of credit and surety bonds with financial institutions primarily relating to the guarantee of our future performance on certain contracts. Contingent liabilities on outstanding letters of credit agreements and surety bonds aggregated approximately $3,704 and $3,761 as of June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018.
United States Government Defense Environment Overview
The Bipartisan Budget Act of 2018, passed in February 2018, raised the 2011 Budget Control Act spending caps for fiscal years 2018 and 2019 (FY18 and FY19). The consolidated spending bills signed into law in September 2018 provided defense funding for FY19, in compliance with the revised caps. These bills also provided FY19 appropriations for most of the federal government. The Consolidated Appropriations Act, enacted in February 2019, provided FY19 appropriations for the remaining parts of the federal government, including the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA).
There continues to be uncertainty with respect to future program-level appropriations for the U.S. DoD and other government agencies, including NASA. The 2011 Budget Control Act continues to mandate spending caps on U.S. government discretionary spending for fiscal years 2020 and 2021 (FY20 and FY21) that are lower than FY18 and FY19. As a result, continued budget uncertainty and the risk of future sequestration cuts remain. Future budget cuts or investment priority changes could result in reductions, cancellations and/or delays of existing contracts or programs. Any of these impacts could have a material effect on our results of operations, financial position and/or cash flows.
Funding timeliness also remains a risk. If Congress is unable to pass appropriations bills before the beginning of FY20 on October 1, 2019, a government shutdown could result which may have impacts above and beyond those resulting from budget cuts, sequestration impacts or program-level appropriations. For example, requirements to furlough employees in the U.S. DoD, the Department of Transportation or other government agencies could result in payment delays, impair our ability to perform work on existing contracts, and/or negatively impact future orders. Alternatively, Congress may fund FY20 by passing one or more Continuing Resolutions; however, this could restrict the execution of certain program activities and delay new programs or competitions.

BDS Fixed-Price Development Contracts
Fixed-price development work is inherently uncertain and subject to significant variability in estimates of the cost and time required to complete the work. BDS fixed-price contracts with significant development work include Commercial Crew, USAF KC-46A Tanker, T-X Trainer, VC-25B Presidential Aircraft, MQ-25 Stingray, and commercial and military satellites. The operational and technical complexities of these contracts create financial risk, which could trigger termination provisions, order cancellations or other financially significant exposure. Changes to cost and revenue estimates could result in lower margins or material charges for reach-forward losses. For example, we have recorded reach-forward losses on the KC-46A Tanker and we continue to have risk for further losses if we experience further production, technical or quality issues. In addition, in 2018, in connection with winning the T-X Trainer and MQ-25 Stingray competitions, we recorded a loss of $400 associated with options for 346 T-X Trainer aircraft and a loss of $291 related to the MQ-25 Stingray Engineering, Manufacturing and Development (EMD) contract. Moreover, our fixed-price development programs remain subject to additional reach-forward losses if we experience further technical or quality issues, schedule delays, or increased costs.

Table of Contents

KC-46A Tanker
In 2011, we were awarded a contract from the U.S. Air Force (USAF) to design, develop, manufacture and deliver four next generation aerial refueling tankers. This EMD contract is a fixed-price incentive fee contract valued at $4.9 billion and involves highly complex designs and systems integration. In 2016, the USAF authorized two low rate initial production (LRIP) lots for 7 and 12 aircraft valued at $2.8 billion. In January 2017, the USAF authorized an additional LRIP lot for 15 aircraft valued at $2.1 billion. On September 10, 2018, the USAF authorized an additional 18 aircraft valued at $2.9 billion.
At June 30, 2019, we had approximately $404 of capitalized precontract costs and $1,104 of potential termination liabilities to suppliers.
Recoverable Costs on Government Contracts  
Our final incurred costs for each year are subject to audit and review for allowability by the U.S. government, which can result in payment demands related to costs they believe should be disallowed. We work with the U.S. government to assess the merits of claims and where appropriate reserve for amounts disputed. If we are unable to satisfactorily resolve disputed costs, we could be required to record an earnings charge and/or provide refunds to the U.S. government.
Note 12Arrangements with Off-Balance Sheet Risk
We enter into arrangements with off-balance sheet risk in the normal course of business, primarily in the form of guarantees.
The following table provides quantitative data regarding our third party guarantees. The maximum potential payments represent a “worst-case scenario,” and do not necessarily reflect amounts that we expect to pay. Estimated proceeds from collateral and recourse represent the anticipated values of assets we could liquidate or receive from other parties to offset our payments under guarantees. The carrying amount of liabilities represents the amount included in Accrued liabilities.

Contingent Repurchase Commitments The repurchase price specified in contingent repurchase commitments is generally lower than the expected fair value at the specified repurchase date. Estimated proceeds from collateral/recourse in the table above represent the lower of the contracted repurchase price or the expected fair value of each aircraft at the specified repurchase date.
Indemnifications to ULA In 2006, we agreed to indemnify ULA through December 31, 2020 against potential non-recoverability and non-allowability of $1,360 of Boeing Delta launch program inventory included in contributed assets plus $1,860 of inventory subject to an inventory supply agreement which ends on March 31, 2021. See Note 5. ULA has yet to consume $35 of contributed inventory.
Potential payments for Other Delta contracts include $85 related to deferred support costs and $91 related to deferred production costs. In June 2011, the Defense Contract Management Agency (DCMA) notified ULA that it had determined that $271 of deferred support costs are not recoverable under government contracts. In December 2011, the DCMA notified ULA of the potential non-recoverability of an additional $114 of deferred

production costs. ULA and Boeing believe that all costs are recoverable and in November 2011, ULA filed a certified claim with the USAF for collection of deferred support and production costs. The USAF issued a final decision denying ULA’s certified claim in May 2012. In 2012, Boeing and ULA, through its subsidiary United Launch Services, filed a suit in the Court of Federal Claims seeking recovery of the deferred support and production costs from the U.S. government, which subsequently asserted a counterclaim for credits that it alleges were offset by deferred support cost invoices. We believe that the U.S. government’s counterclaim is without merit. The discovery phase of the litigation completed in 2017. The court has scheduled a final pre-trial conference on or after November 21, 2019. If, contrary to our belief, it is determined that some or all of the deferred support or production costs are not recoverable, we could be required to record pre-tax losses and make indemnification payments to ULA for up to $317 of the costs questioned by the DCMA.
Other Indemnifications In conjunction with our sales of Electron Dynamic Devices, Inc. and Rocketdyne Propulsion and Power businesses and our BCA facilities in Wichita, Kansas and Tulsa and McAlester, Oklahoma, we agreed to indemnify, for an indefinite period, the buyers for costs relating to pre-closing environmental conditions and certain other items. We are unable to assess the potential number of future claims that may be asserted under these indemnifications, nor the amounts thereof (if any). As a result, we cannot estimate the maximum potential amount of future payments under these indemnities and therefore, no liability has been recorded. To the extent that claims have been made under these indemnities and/or are probable and reasonably estimable, liabilities associated with these indemnities are included in the environmental liability disclosure in Note 11.
Credit Guarantees We have issued credit guarantees where we are obligated to make payments to a guaranteed party in the event that the original lessee or debtor does not make payments or perform certain specified services. Generally, these guarantees have been extended on behalf of guaranteed parties with less than investment-grade credit and are collateralized by certain assets. Current outstanding credit guarantees expire through 2036.
Note 13 – Debt
In the first quarter of 2019, we issued $1,500 of fixed rate senior notes consisting of $400 due March 1, 2024 that bear an annual interest rate of 2.8%, $400 due March 1, 2029 that bear an annual interest rate of 3.2%, $400 due March 1, 2039 that bear an annual interest rate of 3.5%, and $300 due March 1, 2059 that bear an annual interest rate of 3.825%. The notes are unsecured senior obligations and rank equally in right of payment with our existing and future unsecured and unsubordinated indebtedness. The net proceeds of the issuance totaled $1,451, after deducting underwriting discounts, commissions and offering expenses.
In the second quarter of 2019, we issued $3,500 of fixed rate senior notes consisting of $600 due May 1, 2022 that bear an annual interest rate of 2.7%, $650 due May 1, 2026 that bear an annual interest rate of 3.1%, $600 due March 1, 2029 that bear an annual interest rate of 3.2%, $850 due May 1, 2034 that bear an annual interest rate of 3.6%, and $800 due May 1, 2049 that bear an annual interest rate of 3.9%. The notes are unsecured senior obligations and rank equally in right of payment with our existing and future unsecured and unsubordinated indebtedness. The net proceeds of the issuance totaled $3,454, after deducting underwriting discounts, commissions and offering expenses.
In the second quarter of 2019, we entered into a $1,500 short-term credit agreement, which is scheduled to terminate on October 30, 2019. At June 30, 2019, we had $6,620 of unused borrowing capacity on revolving credit line agreements.

Note 15Share-Based Compensation and Other Compensation Arrangements
Restricted Stock Units
On February 25, 2019, we granted to our executives 233,582 restricted stock units (RSUs) as part of our long-term incentive program with a grant date fair value of $428.22 per unit. The RSUs granted under this program will vest and settle in common stock (on a one-for-one basis) on the third anniversary of the grant date.
Performance-Based Restricted Stock Units
On February 25, 2019, we granted to our executives 214,651 performance-based restricted stock units (PBRSUs) as part of our long-term incentive program with a grant date fair value of $466.04 per unit. Compensation expense for the award is recognized over the three-year performance period based upon the grant date fair value estimated using a Monte-Carlo simulation model. The model used the following assumptions: expected volatility of 23.88% based upon historical stock volatility, a risk-free interest rate of 2.46%, and no expected dividend yield because the units earn dividend equivalents.
Performance Awards
On February 25, 2019, we granted to our executives performance awards as part of our long-term incentive program with a payout based on the achievement of financial goals for the three-year period ending December 31, 2021. At June 30, 2019, the minimum payout amount is $0 and the maximum amount we could be required to pay out is $393.

Note 17Derivative Financial Instruments
Disclosures reflect the adoption of ASU 2017-12, Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815), in the first quarter of 2019. Prior period amounts have not been restated.
Cash Flow Hedges
Our cash flow hedges include foreign currency forward contracts, commodity swaps and commodity purchase contracts. We use foreign currency forward contracts to manage currency risk associated with certain transactions, specifically forecasted sales and purchases made in foreign currencies. Our foreign currency contracts hedge forecasted transactions through 2025. We use commodity derivatives, such as fixed-price purchase commitments and swaps to hedge against potentially unfavorable price changes for items used in production. Our commodity contracts hedge forecasted transactions through 2023.
Fair Value Hedges
Interest rate swaps under which we agree to pay variable rates of interest are designated as fair value hedges of fixed-rate debt. The net change in fair value of the derivatives and the hedged items is reported in Boeing Capital interest expense.
Derivative Instruments Not Receiving Hedge Accounting Treatment
We have entered into agreements to purchase and sell aluminum to address long-term strategic sourcing objectives and non-U.S. business requirements. These agreements are derivative instruments for accounting purposes. The quantities of aluminum in these agreements offset and are priced at prevailing market prices. We also hold certain foreign currency forward contracts which do not qualify for hedge accounting treatment.

Gains/(losses) related to undesignated derivatives on foreign exchange cash flow hedging transactions recognized in Other income/(loss), net were gains of $2 and $0 for the six and three months ended June 30, 2019 and losses of $1 and $4 for the six and three months ended June 30, 2018. Forward points related to foreign exchange cash flow hedging transactions recognized in Other income/(loss), net were gains of $5 and losses of $1 for the six and three months ended June 30, 2018.
Based on our portfolio of cash flow hedges, we expect to reclassify losses of $22 (pre-tax) out of Accumulated other comprehensive loss into earnings during the next 12 months.
We have derivative instruments with credit-risk-related contingent features. For foreign exchange contracts with original maturities of at least five years, our derivative counterparties could require settlement if we default on our five-year credit facility. For certain commodity contracts, our counterparties could require collateral posted in an amount determined by our credit ratings. The fair value of foreign exchange and commodity contracts that have credit-risk-related contingent features that are in a net liability position at June 30, 2019 was $28. At June 30, 2019, there was no collateral posted related to our derivatives.

Note 18Fair Value Measurements
The fair value hierarchy has three levels based on the reliability of the inputs used to determine fair value. Level 1 refers to fair values determined based on quoted prices in active markets for identical assets. Level 2 refers to fair values estimated using significant other observable inputs and Level 3 includes fair values estimated using significant unobservable inputs. The following table presents our assets and liabilities that are measured at fair value on a recurring basis and are categorized using the fair value hierarchy.

Money market funds, available-for-sale debt investments and equity securities are valued using a market approach based on the quoted market prices or broker/dealer quotes of identical or comparable instruments.
Derivatives include foreign currency, commodity and interest rate contracts. Our foreign currency forward contracts are valued using an income approach based on the present value of the forward rate less the contract rate multiplied by the notional amount. Commodity derivatives are valued using an income approach based on the present value of the commodity index prices less the contract rate multiplied by the notional amount. The fair value of our interest rate swaps is derived from a discounted cash flow analysis based on the terms of the contract and the interest rate curve.
Certain assets have been measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis using significant unobservable inputs (Level 3). The following table presents the nonrecurring losses recognized for the six months ended June 30 due to long-lived asset impairment and the fair value and asset classification of the related assets as of the impairment date:

Investments, Property, plant and equipment and Acquired intangible assets were primarily valued using an income approach based on the discounted cash flows associated with the underlying assets. The fair value of the impaired operating lease equipment is derived by calculating a median collateral value from a consistent group of third party aircraft value publications. The values provided by the third party aircraft publications are derived from their knowledge of market trades and other market factors. Management reviews the publications quarterly to assess the continued appropriateness and consistency with market trends. Under

certain circumstances, we adjust values based on the attributes and condition of the specific aircraft or equipment, usually when the features or use of the aircraft vary significantly from the more generic aircraft attributes covered by third party publications, or on the expected net sales price for the aircraft.
For Level 3 assets that were measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis during the six months ended June 30, the following table presents the fair value of those assets as of the measurement date, valuation techniques and related unobservable inputs of those assets.

The fair values of notes receivable are estimated with discounted cash flow analysis using interest rates currently offered on loans with similar terms to borrowers of similar credit quality. The fair value of our debt that is traded in the secondary market is classified as Level 2 and is based on current market yields. For our debt that is not traded in the secondary market, the fair value is classified as Level 2 and is based on our indicative borrowing cost derived from dealer quotes or discounted cash flows. The fair values of our debt classified as Level 3 are based on discounted cash flow models using the implied yield from similar securities. With regard to other financial instruments with off-balance sheet risk, it is not practicable to estimate the fair value of our indemnifications and financing commitments because the amount and timing of those arrangements are uncertain. Items not included in the above disclosures include cash, restricted cash, time

deposits and other deposits, commercial paper, money market funds, Accounts receivable, Unbilled receivables, Accounts payable and long-term payables. The carrying values of those items, as reflected in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Financial Position, approximate their fair value at June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018. The fair value of assets and liabilities whose carrying value approximates fair value is determined using Level 2 inputs, with the exception of cash (Level 1).
Note 19Legal Proceedings
Various legal proceedings, claims and investigations related to products, contracts, employment and other matters are pending against us.
In addition, we are subject to various U.S. government inquiries and investigations from which civil, criminal or administrative proceedings could result or have resulted in the past. Such proceedings involve or could involve claims by the government for fines, penalties, compensatory and treble damages, restitution and/or forfeitures. Under government regulations, a company, or one or more of its operating divisions or subdivisions, can also be suspended or debarred from government contracts, or lose its export privileges, based on the results of investigations. We believe, based upon current information, that the outcome of any such legal proceeding, claim, or government dispute and investigation will not have a material effect on our financial position, results of operations, or cash flows. Where it is reasonably possible that we will incur losses in excess of recorded amounts in connection with any of the matters set forth below, we will disclose either the amount or range of reasonably possible losses in excess of such amounts or, where no such amount or range can be reasonably estimated, the reasons why no such estimate can be made.
Multiple legal actions have been filed against us as a result of the October 29, 2018 accident of Lion Air Flight 610 and the March 10, 2019 accident of Ethiopian Airlines Flight 302. Further, we are fully cooperating with all ongoing governmental and regulatory investigations and inquiries relating to the accidents and the 737 MAX. We cannot reasonably estimate a range of loss, if any, that may result given the ongoing status of these lawsuits, investigations, and inquiries.
Note 20Segment and Revenue Information
Effective at the beginning of 2019, all revenues and costs associated with military derivative aircraft production are reported in the BDS segment. Revenues and costs associated with military derivative aircraft production were previously reported in the BCA and BDS segments. Business segment data for 2018 reflects the realignment for military derivative aircraft, as well as the realignment of certain programs from BDS to BGS.
Our primary profitability measurements to review a segment’s operating results are Earnings from operations and operating margins. We operate in four reportable segments: BCA, BDS, BGS, and BCC. All other activities fall within Unallocated items, eliminations and other. See page 7 for the Summary of Business Segment Data, which is an integral part of this note.
BCA develops, produces and markets commercial jet aircraft principally to the commercial airline industry worldwide. Revenue on commercial aircraft contracts is recognized at the point in time when an aircraft is completed and accepted by the customer.
BDS engages in the research, development, production and modification of the following products and related services: manned and unmanned military aircraft and weapons systems, surveillance and engagement, strategic defense and intelligence systems, satellite systems and space exploration. BDS revenue is generally recognized over the contract term (over time) as costs are incurred.
BGS provides parts, maintenance, modifications, logistics support, training, data analytics and information-based services to commercial and government customers worldwide. BGS segment revenue and costs include certain services provided to other segments. Revenue on commercial spare parts contracts is recognized at the point in time when a spare part is delivered to the customer. Revenue on other contracts is generally recognized over the contract term (over time) as costs are incurred.
BCC facilitates, arranges, structures and provides selective financing solutions for our Boeing customers.

28

Table of Contents

The following tables present BCA, BDS and BGS revenues from contracts with customers disaggregated in a number of ways, such as geographic location, contract type and the method of revenue recognition. We believe these best depict how the nature, amount, timing and uncertainty of our revenues and cash flows are affected by economic factors.
BCA revenues by customer location consist of the following:

Backlog
Our total backlog represents the estimated transaction prices on performance obligations to our customers for which work remains to be performed. Backlog is converted into revenue in future periods as work is performed, primarily based on the cost incurred or at delivery and acceptance of products, depending on the applicable accounting method.
Our backlog at June 30, 2019 was $474,251. We expect approximately 29% to be converted to revenue through 2020 and approximately 73% through 2023, with the remainder thereafter.

Pension and Other Postretirement Benefit Expense
Pension costs, comprising GAAP service and prior service costs, are allocated to BCA and the commercial operations at BGS. Pension costs are allocated to BDS and BGS businesses supporting government customers using U.S. Government Cost Accounting Standards (CAS), which employ different actuarial assumptions and accounting conventions than GAAP. These costs are allocable to government contracts. Other postretirement benefit costs are allocated to business segments based on CAS, which is generally based on benefits paid. FAS/CAS service cost adjustment represents the difference between the FAS pension and postretirement service costs calculated under GAAP and costs allocated to the business segments. Non-operating pension and postretirement expenses represent the components of net periodic benefit costs other than service cost. These expenses are included in Other income/(loss), net.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
To the Board of Directors and Shareholders of
The Boeing Company
Chicago, Illinois
Results of Review of Interim Financial Information
We have reviewed the accompanying condensed consolidated statement of financial position of The Boeing Company and subsidiaries (the “Company”) as of June 30, 2019, the related condensed consolidated statements of operations, comprehensive income, and equity for the three-month and six-month periods ended June 30, 2019 and 2018, and of cash flows for the six months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018, and the related notes (collectively referred to as the "condensed consolidated interim financial information"). Based on our reviews, we are not aware of any material modifications that should be made to the accompanying condensed consolidated interim financial information for it to be in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
We have previously audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB), the consolidated statement of financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2018, and the related consolidated statements of operations, comprehensive income, cash flows, and equity for the year then ended (not presented herein); and in our report dated February 8, 2019, we expressed an unqualified opinion on those consolidated financial statements and included an explanatory paragraph related to the Company’s change in method of accounting for revenue from contracts with customers. In our opinion, the information set forth in the accompanying condensed consolidated statement of financial position as of December 31, 2018, is fairly stated, in all material respects, in relation to the consolidated statement of financial position from which it has been derived.
Basis for Review Results
This condensed consolidated interim financial information is the responsibility of the Company's management. We are a public accounting firm registered with the PCAOB and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.
We conducted our reviews in accordance with standards of the PCAOB. A review of interim financial information consists principally of applying analytical procedures and making inquiries of persons responsible for financial and accounting matters. It is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB, the objective of which is the expression of an opinion regarding the financial statements taken as a whole. Accordingly, we do not express such an opinion.

Revenues for the six months ended June 30, 2019 decreased by $8,972 million compared with the same period in 2018. Commercial Airplanes (BCA) revenues decreased by $10,353 million driven by lower deliveries and a revenue reduction of $5,610 million that was recorded in the second quarter of 2019 related to estimated potential concessions and other considerations to customers for disruptions and associated delivery delays related to the 737 MAX grounding. Defense, Space & Security (BDS) revenues increased by $642 million primarily due to higher revenues from derivative aircraft, satellites and weapons, partially offset by lower revenue for fighters and C-17. Global Services (BGS) revenues increased by $1,115 million primarily due to the acquisition of KLX, Inc. in the fourth quarter of 2018 and international government services revenue. The changes in Unallocated items, eliminations and other primarily reflect the timing of eliminations for intercompany aircraft deliveries.

Earnings from operations for the six months ended June 30, 2019 decreased by $6,615 million compared with the same period in 2018, primarily due to lower earnings at BCA and a customer financing impairment of $250 million that was recorded in Unallocated Items, Eliminations and Other. The decrease was partially offset by higher earnings at BDS and BGS. BCA earnings from operations decreased by $6,970 million primarily due to the earnings charge for the 737 MAX grounding of $5,610 million and lower 737 deliveries, partially offset by higher 787 margins. BDS earnings from operations increased by $689 million, primarily due to lower KC-46A Tanker reach-forward losses and gains on the sale of property. BGS earnings from operations increased by $89 million primarily due to higher revenues.
Earnings from operations for the three months ended June 30, 2019 decreased by $6,090 million compared with the same period in 2018, primarily due to lower earnings at BCA, partially offset by higher earnings at BDS and BGS. BCA's earnings from operations decreased $6,731 million primarily due to the earnings charge for the 737 MAX grounding of $5,610 million and lower 737 deliveries, partially offset by higher 787 margins. BDS earnings from operations increased by $599 million, compared with the same period in 2018 primarily due to lower KC-46A Tanker reach-forward losses and a gain on the sale of property. BGS earnings from operations increased by $83 million primarily due to higher revenues.
Core operating earnings for the six and three months ended June 30, 2019 decreased by $6,662 million and $6,138 million compared with the same periods in 2018 primarily due to lower earnings at BCA, partially offset by higher earnings at BDS and BGS.

The deferred compensation expense increased by $73 million for the six months ended June 30, 2019 compared with the same period in 2018 primarily driven by changes in broad market conditions.
Research and development expense increased by $154 million and $78 million for the six and three months ended June 30, 2019 compared with the same periods in 2018 primarily due to enterprise investments in new products and technologies.
During the first quarter of 2019, we recorded a $250 million charge related to the impairment of lease incentives with one customer that is currently experiencing liquidity issues.
During the second quarter of 2019, we recorded a charge of $109 million related to ongoing litigation associated with recoverable costs on U.S. government contracts. In the second quarter of 2018, we recorded a charge of $148 million related to the outcome of the Spirit litigation.
A portion of service cost is recognized in Earnings from operations in the period incurred and the remainder is included in inventory at the end of the reporting period and recorded in Earnings from operations in subsequent periods.

Net periodic pension benefit costs included in Earnings from operations were as follows:

Other income/(loss), net increased by $162 million and $122 million during the six and three months ended June 30, 2019, primarily due to non-operating pension expense. Non-operating pension expense was a benefit of $187 million and $94 million during the six and three months ended June 30, 2019 compared with $48 million and $6 million during the same periods in 2018. The benefits in 2019 reflect a decrease in the amortization of actuarial losses, offset by higher interest costs.
Higher interest and debt expense for the six and three months ended June 30, 2019 is a result of higher debt balances, partially offset by higher capitalized interest.
For discussion related to Income Taxes, see Note 4 to our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.
Total Costs and Expenses (“Cost of Sales”)
Cost of sales, for both products and services, consists primarily of raw materials, parts, sub-assemblies, labor, overhead and subcontracting costs. Our BCA segment predominantly uses program accounting to account for cost of sales. Under program accounting, cost of sales for each commercial airplane program equals the product of (i) revenue recognized in connection with customer deliveries and (ii) the estimated cost of sales percentage applicable to the total remaining program. For long-term contracts, the amount reported as cost of sales is recognized as incurred. Substantially all contracts at our BDS segment and certain contracts at our BGS segment are long-term contracts with the U.S. government and other customers that generally extend over several years. Costs on these contracts are recorded as incurred. Cost of sales for commercial spare parts is recorded at average cost.

Contractual backlog of unfilled orders excludes purchase options, announced orders for which definitive contracts have not been executed, and unobligated U.S. and non-U.S. government contract funding. The decrease during the six months ended June 30, 2019 was primarily due to lower BCA backlog, partially offset by BDS orders and funding for contract awards in excess of deliveries and revenue recognized.
Unobligated backlog includes U.S. and non-U.S. government definitive contracts for which funding has not been authorized. The decrease during the six months ended June 30, 2019 was primarily due to reclassifications to contractual backlog related to BGS and BDS contracts.
Export-Import Bank of the United States Many of our non-U.S. customers finance purchases through the Export-Import Bank of the United States. Following the expiration of the bank’s charter on June 30, 2015, the bank’s charter was reauthorized in December 2015. However, from the time of that reauthorization until May 8, 2019, when the U.S. Senate confirmed members sufficient to constitute a quorum of the bank’s board of directors, the bank was not able to approve any transaction totaling more than $10 million. The bank is authorized through September 30, 2019. If the bank's charter is not reauthorized on a timely basis, we may fund additional commitments and/or enter into new financing arrangements with customers. Certain of our non-U.S. customers also may seek to delay purchases if they cannot obtain financing at reasonable costs, and there may be further impacts with respect to future sales campaigns involving non-U.S. customers.
Global Trade In June 2018, the U.S. Government began imposing tariffs on steel and aluminum imports. In response to these tariffs, several major U.S. trading partners have imposed, or announced their intention to impose, tariffs on U.S. goods. In May 2019, the U.S. Government, Mexico and Canada reached an agreement to end the steel and aluminum tariffs between these countries. We continue to monitor this agreement and the potential for any extra costs that may result from the remaining global tariffs.

Table of Contents

In July 2018, the U.S. and China began imposing tariffs on approximately $34 billion of each other's exports. Certain aircraft parts and components that Boeing procures are subject to these tariffs. Subsequently, the U.S. imposed tariffs on an additional $216 billion in Chinese goods, and China imposed tariffs on an additional $76 billion worth of U.S goods. Negotiations to resolve the trade dispute are currently ongoing. We continue to monitor the potential for any disruption and adverse revenue and/or cost impacts that may result from these actions, the potential imposition of future tariffs, or future geopolitical economic developments.
The U.S. Government continues to impose and/or consider imposing sanctions on certain businesses and individuals in Russia. Although our operations or sales in Russia have not been impacted to date, we continue to monitor additional sanctions that may be imposed by the U.S. Government and any responses from Russia that could affect our supply chain, business partners or customers.

Revenues for the six and three months ended June 30, 2019 decreased by $10,353 million and $9,230 million compared with the same periods in 2018 driven by lower deliveries and a revenue reduction of $5,610 million that was recorded in the second quarter of 2019 related to estimated potential concessions and other considerations to customers for disruptions and associated delivery delays related to the 737 MAX grounding. The 737 MAX grounding will continue to have a significant impact on revenues until deliveries resume.

Earnings From Operations
Earnings from operations for the six and three months ended June 30, 2019 decreased by $6,970 million and $6,731 million compared with the same periods in 2018 primarily due to the earnings charge for the 737 MAX grounding of $5,610 million and lower 737 deliveries, partially offset by higher 787 margins. The 737 MAX grounding will continue to adversely impact margins until deliveries resume.
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 certain. Backlog excludes options and BCC orders. A number of our customers may have contractual remedies that may be implicated by program delays. 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 Topic 606.
BCA total backlog decreased from $408,140 million as of December 31, 2018 to $390,405 million at June 30, 2019 primarily due to deliveries in excess of new orders and a reduction in backlog related to orders from a customer experiencing liquidity issues.

Program Highlights
737 Program See the discussion of the 737 MAX Grounding in Note 11 and 19 to our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.
747 Program We are currently producing at a rate of 0.5 aircraft per month. We continue to evaluate the viability of the 747 program. We believe that a decision to end production of the 747 at the end of the current accounting quantity would not have a material impact on our financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
767 Program The 767 assembly line includes a 767 derivative to support the tanker program. We are currently producing at a rate of 2.5 per month and plan to increase to 3 per month in 2020.
777 Program The accounting quantity for the 777 program increased by 10 units during the three months ended June 30, 2019 due to the program’s normal progress of obtaining additional orders and delivering airplanes. We are currently producing at a rate of 5 per month. In 2013, we launched the 777X, which features a new composite wing, new engines and folding wing-tips. While we are targeting late 2020 for first delivery of the 777X, there is significant risk to this schedule resulting from issues in engine design and development, which are delaying first flight until early 2020. The 777X will have a separate program accounting quantity, which will be determined in the year of first airplane delivery.
787 Program At the end of the first quarter of 2019, we increased the production rate from 12 per month to 14 per month. We delivered the first 787-10 in March 2018.
Additional Considerations
The development and ongoing production of commercial aircraft is extremely complex, involving extensive coordination and integration with suppliers and highly-skilled labor from employees and other partners. Meeting or exceeding our performance and reliability standards, as well as those of customers and regulators, can be costly and technologically challenging. In addition, the introduction of new aircraft and derivatives, such as the 777X, involves increased risks associated with meeting development, production and certification

schedules. As a result, our ability to deliver aircraft on time, satisfy performance and reliability standards and achieve or maintain, as applicable, program profitability is subject to significant risks. Factors that could result in lower margins (or a material charge if an airplane program has or is determined to have reach-forward losses) include the following: changes to the program accounting quantity, customer and model mix, production costs and rates, changes to price escalation factors due to changes in the inflation rate or other economic indicators, performance or reliability issues involving completed aircraft, capital expenditures and other costs associated with increasing or adding new production capacity, learning curve, additional change incorporation, achieving anticipated cost reductions, flight test and certification schedules, costs, schedule and demand for new airplanes and derivatives and status of customer claims, supplier assertions and other contractual negotiations. While we believe the cost and revenue estimates incorporated in the consolidated financial statements are appropriate, the technical complexity of our airplane programs creates financial risk as additional completion costs may become necessary or scheduled delivery dates could be extended, which could trigger termination provisions, order cancellations or other financially significant exposure.
Defense, Space & Security
Business Environment and Trends
United States Government Defense Environment Overview
The Bipartisan Budget Act of 2018, passed in February 2018, raised the 2011 Budget Control Act spending caps for fiscal years 2018 and 2019 (FY18 and FY19). The consolidated spending bills signed into law in September 2018 provided defense funding for FY19, in compliance with the revised caps. These bills also provided FY19 appropriations for most of the federal government. The Consolidated Appropriations Act, enacted in February 2019, provided FY19 appropriations for the remaining parts of the federal government, including the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA).
There continues to be uncertainty with respect to future program-level appropriations for the U.S. DoD and other government agencies, including NASA. The 2011 Budget Control Act continues to mandate spending caps on U.S. government discretionary spending for fiscal years 2020 and 2021 (FY20 and FY21) that are lower than FY18 and FY19. As a result, continued budget uncertainty and the risk of future sequestration cuts remain. Future budget cuts or investment priority changes could result in reductions, cancellations and/or delays of existing contracts or programs. Any of these impacts could have a material effect on our results of operations, financial position and/or cash flows.
Funding timeliness also remains a risk. If Congress is unable to pass appropriations bills before the beginning of FY20 on October 1, 2019, a government shutdown could result which may have impacts above and beyond those resulting from budget cuts, sequestration impacts or program-level appropriations. For example, requirements to furlough employees in the U.S. DoD, the Department of Transportation or other government agencies could result in payment delays, impair our ability to perform work on existing contracts, and/or negatively impact future orders. Alternatively, Congress may fund FY20 by passing one or more Continuing Resolutions; however, this could restrict the execution of certain program activities and delay new programs or competitions.

Since our operating cycle is long-term and involves many different types of development and production contracts with varying delivery and milestone schedules, the operating results of a particular period may not be indicative of future operating results. In addition, depending on the customer and their funding sources, our orders might be structured as annual follow on contracts, or as one large multi-year order or long-term award. As a result, period-to-period comparisons of backlog are not necessarily indicative of future workloads. The following discussions of comparative results among periods should be viewed in this context.

Revenues
BDS revenues for the six months ended June 30, 2019 increased by $642 million compared with the same period in 2018, primarily due to higher revenues from derivative aircraft, satellites and weapons, partially offset by lower revenue for fighters and C-17. The favorable impact of cumulative contract catch-up adjustments to revenue for the six months ended June 30, 2019 was $160 million higher than the comparable period in the prior year, reflecting decreased unfavorable adjustments on the KC-46A Tanker.
BDS revenues for the three months ended June 30, 2019 increased by $512 million compared with the same period in 2018, primarily due to higher revenues from derivative aircraft, satellites and weapons. The favorable impact of cumulative contract catch-up adjustments to revenue for the three months ended June 30, 2019 was $137 million higher compared with the same period in 2018, reflecting decreased unfavorable adjustments on the KC-46A Tanker.
Earnings From Operations
BDS earnings from operations for the six and three months ended June 30, 2019 increased by $689 million and $599 million compared with the same periods in 2018, primarily due to lower KC-46A Tanker reach-forward losses and gains on the sale of property. During the six and three months ended June 30, 2018, BDS recorded reach-forward losses of $498 million and $418 million related to the KC-46A Tanker program.

45

Table of Contents

The favorable impact of cumulative contract catch-up adjustments for the six and three months ended June 30, 2019 was $335 million and $274 million higher than the comparable period in the prior year, reflecting decreased unfavorable adjustments on the KC-46A Tanker.
BDS earnings from operations include equity earnings of $65 million and $12 million for the six and three months ended June 30, 2019 compared to $91 million and $11 million for the same periods in 2018 primarily reflecting earnings on our ULA joint venture.
Backlog
Total backlog increased from $61,277 million at December 31, 2018 to $63,872 million at June 30, 2019 primarily due to current year contract awards including F/A-18 fighters, P-8A Poseidon and E-7 Airborne Early Warning & Control, partially offset by revenue recognized on contracts awarded in prior years.
Additional Considerations
Our BDS business includes a variety of development programs which have complex design and technical challenges. Many of these programs have cost-type contracting arrangements. In these cases, the associated financial risks are primarily in reduced fees, lower profit rates or program cancellation if cost, schedule or technical performance issues arise. Examples of these programs include Ground-based Midcourse Defense, Proprietary and Space Launch System programs.
Some of our development programs are contracted on a fixed-price basis and BDS customers are increasingly seeking fixed priced proposals for new programs. Examples of significant fixed-price development programs include Commercial Crew, USAF KC-46A Tanker, T-X Trainer, VC-25B Presidential Aircraft, MQ-25 Stingray, and commercial and military satellites. New programs could also have risk for reach-forward loss upon contract award and during the period of contract performance. In the third quarter of 2018, we were awarded contracts to develop the T-X Trainer aircraft with complementary devices and the MQ-25 unmanned aerial refueling aircraft. We recorded orders of $1,618 million and recognized losses of $691 million associated with these contracts. Many development programs have highly complex designs. As technical or quality issues arise during development, we may experience schedule delays and cost impacts, which could increase our estimated cost to perform the work or reduce our estimated price, either of which could result in a material charge or otherwise adversely affect our financial condition. These programs are ongoing, and while we believe the cost and fee estimates incorporated in the financial statements are appropriate, the technical complexity of these programs creates financial risk as additional completion costs may become necessary or scheduled delivery dates could be extended, which could trigger termination provisions, the loss of satellite in-orbit incentive payments, or other financially significant exposure. These programs have risk for reach-forward losses if our estimated costs exceed our estimated contract revenues.
KC-46A Tanker In 2011, we were awarded a contract from the U.S. Air Force (USAF) to design, develop, manufacture and deliver four next generation aerial refueling tankers. The KC-46A Tanker is a derivative of our 767 commercial aircraft. This Engineering, Manufacturing and Development (EMD) contract is a fixed-price incentive fee contract valued at $4.9 billion and involves highly complex designs and systems integration. In 2015, we began work on low rate initial production (LRIP) aircraft for the USAF. In 2016, following our achievement of key flight testing milestones, the USAF authorized two LRIP lots for 7 and 12 aircraft valued at $2.8 billion and in 2017, the USAF authorized an additional LRIP lot for 15 aircraft valued at $2.1 billion. On September 10, 2018, the USAF authorized an additional LRIP lot for 18 aircraft valued at $2.9 billion. The contract contains production options for both LRIP aircraft and full rate production aircraft. If all options under the contract are exercised, we expect to deliver 179 aircraft for a total expected contract value of approximately $30 billion.
During 2018, we recorded additional reach-forward losses of $736 million primarily reflecting higher estimated costs associated with certification, flight testing and change incorporation on aircraft, as well as higher than expected effort to meet customer requirements in order to support delivery of the initial aircraft.
As with any development program, this program remains subject to additional reach-forward losses if we experience further production, technical or quality issues.

T-X Trainer In September 2018, we were selected by the U.S. Air Force to build the next generation training capability, known as T-X. The program includes aircraft and simulators as well as support and ground equipment. The contract is structured as an indefinite delivery/indefinite quantity (IDIQ) fixed-price contract with a minimum of 206 aircraft and a maximum of 475 aircraft. The EMD contract is a fixed-price contract valued at $813 million and includes five aircraft and seven simulators, with a period of performance that runs through 2022. The production and support contracts are structured as options that begin with authorization from fiscal year 2022 to 2034. In connection with winning this competition, we recorded a reach-forward loss of $400 million associated with anticipated losses on the options for 346 aircraft that we believe are probable of being exercised. We believe that our investment in this contract positions us for additional market opportunities for both trainer and light attack aircraft.
MQ-25 Stingray In August 2018, we were awarded an EMD contract to build the MQ-25 Stingray for the U.S. Navy. The EMD contract is a fixed-price contract that includes development and delivery of four aircraft and test articles at a contract price of $805 million. In connection with winning this competition, we recognized a reach-forward loss of $291 million. The period of performance runs from 2018 through 2024. The MQ-25 Stingray is the U.S. Navy’s first operational carrier-based unmanned aircraft, and we believe that our investment in this contract positions us for long-term leadership in autonomy and artificial intelligence technologies along with additional market opportunities.

Revenues
BGS revenues for the six and three months ended June 30, 2019 increased by $1,115 million and $446 million compared with the same periods in 2018 primarily due to the acquisition of KLX, Inc. in the fourth quarter of 2018 and international government services revenue. Net favorable cumulative contract catch-up adjustments to revenue were higher by $24 million and $4 million for the six and three months ended June 30, 2019 compared with the same periods in 2018.
Earnings From Operations
BGS earnings from operations for the six and three months ended June 30, 2019 increased by $89 million and $83 million compared with the same periods in 2018 primarily due to higher revenues. For the six months ended June 30, 2019, earnings from higher revenues were partially offset by less favorable performance and mix. Net favorable cumulative contract catch-up adjustments were higher by $4 million and lower by $9 million for the six and three months ended June 30, 2019 compared with the same periods in 2018.

Revenues
Boeing Capital (BCC) segment revenues consist principally of lease income from equipment under operating lease, interest income from financing receivables and notes, and other income. BCC’s revenues for the six and three months ended June 30, 2019 were largely consistent with the same periods in 2018.
Earnings From Operations
BCC’s earnings from operations are presented net of interest expense, provision for (recovery of) losses, asset impairment expense, depreciation on leased equipment and other operating expenses. Earnings from operations for the six and three months ended June 30, 2019 increased primarily due to lower operating expenses.

BCC’s customer financing and investment portfolio at June 30, 2019 decreased from December 31, 2018 primarily due to $526 million of note payoffs and portfolio run-off and $250 million related to the impairment of lease incentives, partially offset by new volume.
BCC enters into certain transactions with Boeing, reflected in Unallocated items, eliminations and other, in the form of intercompany guarantees and other subsidies that mitigate the effects of certain credit quality or asset impairment issues on the BCC segment. The $250 million impairment of lease incentives did not result in an earnings charge in the BCC segment because of an intercompany guarantee.

Operating Activities Net cash provided by operating activities was $2.2 billion during the six months ended June 30, 2019, compared with $7.8 billion during the same period in 2018. The net loss from operations for the six months ended June 30, 2019 was primarily driven by the $5.6 billion charge for estimated potential concessions and other considerations to 737 MAX customers and did not affect cash flows. The decrease reflects higher spending on inventory and lower growth in advances compared with the prior period. Inventories increased by $5.9 billion during the six months ended June 30, 2019 primarily due to the suspension of 737 MAX deliveries, which resulted in higher commercial airplane program inventory as we continue to produce 737 MAX aircraft at a rate of 42 per month. Advances and progress billings increased by $1.8 billion and $2.9 billion during the six months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018. Net cash provided by operating activities in future quarters is expected to be adversely impacted by the 737 MAX grounding.   
Investing Activities Cash used by investing activities was $0.9 billion during the six months ended June 30, 2019, compared with $1.3 billion during the same period in 2018, primarily due to net proceeds from investments in 2019 as compared with net contributions to investments in 2018 and higher proceeds from property sales in 2019, partially offset by higher cash paid for acquisitions in the first half of 2019. In the six months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018, capital expenditures totaled $0.9 billion and $0.8 billion. We expect capital expenditures in 2019 to be consistent with 2018.
Financing Activities Cash provided by financing activities was $0.1 billion during the six months ended June 30, 2019 compared with cash used of $7.2 billion during the same period in 2018, primarily reflecting higher net borrowings and lower share repurchases partially offset by higher dividend payments in 2019. During the six months ended June 30, 2019, new borrowings net of repayments increased by $5.2 billion compared with an increase of $0.9 billion in the same period in 2018.
At June 30, 2019, the recorded balance of debt was $19.2 billion, of which $4.4 billion was classified as short-term. Debt, including intercompany loans, attributable to BCC totaled $1.9 billion, of which $0.7 billion was classified as short-term.
During the six months ended June 30, 2019 we repurchased 6.9 million shares totaling $2.7 billion through our open market share repurchase program. In addition, 0.6 million shares were transferred to us from employees for tax withholdings. Share repurchases during the six months ended June 30, 2018 totaled $6.0 billion. At June 30, 2019, the amount available under the share repurchase plan, announced on December 17, 2018, totaled $17.3 billion. Share repurchases under this plan are currently suspended.

Table of Contents

Capital Resources We have substantial borrowing capacity. Any future borrowings may affect our credit ratings and are subject to various debt covenants as described below. We have a commercial paper program that serves as a source of short-term liquidity. At June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018 commercial paper borrowings total $2,987 million and $1,895 million. Currently, we have $6.6 billion of unused borrowing capacity on revolving credit line agreements. We anticipate that these credit lines will primarily serve as backup liquidity to support our general corporate borrowing needs.
Financing commitments totaled $14.3 billion and $19.5 billion at June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018. The decrease primarily relates to financing commitment expirations. We anticipate that we will not be required to fund a significant portion of our financing commitments as we continue to work with third party financiers to provide alternative financing to customers. Historically, we have not been required to fund significant amounts of outstanding commitments. However, there can be no assurances that we will not be required to fund greater amounts than historically required. In addition, many of our non-U.S. customers have financed purchases through the Export-Import Bank of the United States. Following the expiration of the bank’s charter on June 30, 2015, the bank’s charter was reauthorized in December 2015. However, from the time of that reauthorization until May 8, 2019, when the U.S. Senate confirmed members sufficient to constitute a quorum of the bank’s board of directors, the bank was not able to approve any transaction totaling more than $10 million. The bank is authorized through September 30, 2019. If the bank's charter is not reauthorized on a timely basis, we may fund additional commitments and/or enter into new financing arrangements with customers. Certain of our non-U.S. customers also may seek to delay purchases if they cannot obtain financing at reasonable costs, and there may be further impacts with respect to future sales campaigns involving non-U.S. customers.
In the event we require additional funding to support strategic business opportunities, our commercial aircraft financing commitments, unfavorable resolution of litigation or other loss contingencies, or other business requirements, including impacts related to the 737 MAX grounding, we expect to meet increased funding requirements by issuing commercial paper or term debt. We believe our ability to access external capital resources should be sufficient to satisfy existing short-term and long-term commitments and plans, and also to provide adequate financial flexibility to take advantage of potential strategic business opportunities should they arise within the next year. However, there can be no assurance of the cost or availability of future borrowings, if any, under our commercial paper program or in the debt markets.
At June 30, 2019, we were in compliance with the covenants for our debt and credit facilities. The most restrictive covenants include a limitation on mortgage debt and sale and leaseback transactions as a percentage of consolidated net tangible assets (as defined in the credit agreements), and a limitation on consolidated debt as a percentage of total capital (as defined). When considering debt covenants, we continue to have substantial borrowing capacity.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
We are a party to certain off-balance sheet arrangements including certain guarantees. For discussion of these arrangements, see Note 12 to our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.
Contingent Obligations
We have significant contingent obligations that arise in the ordinary course of business, which include the following:
Legal Various legal proceedings, claims and investigations are pending against us. Legal contingencies are discussed in Note 19 to our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.
Environmental Remediation We are involved with various environmental remediation activities and have recorded a liability of $548 million at June 30, 2019. For additional information, see Note 11 to our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

Non-GAAP Measures
Core Operating Earnings, Core Operating Margin and Core Earnings Per Share
Our unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements are prepared in accordance with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles in the United States of America (GAAP) which we supplement with certain non-GAAP financial information. 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. Core operating earnings, and core operating margin and core earnings per share exclude the FAS/CAS service cost adjustment. The FAS/CAS service cost adjustment represents the difference between the FAS pension and postretirement service costs calculated under GAAP and costs allocated to the business segments. Core earnings per share excludes both 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, comprising service and prior service costs computed in accordance with GAAP are allocated to BCA and certain BGS businesses supporting commercial customers. 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.
The Pension FAS/CAS service cost adjustment recognized in earnings was a benefit of $549 million and $275 million for the six and three months ended June 30, 2019, compared with a benefit of $520 million and $237 million during the same periods in 2018. The non-operating pension expense included in Other income/(loss), net was a benefit of $187 million and $94 million for the six and three months ended June 30, 2019 compared with $48 million and $6 million for the same periods in 2018. The benefits in 2019 reflect lower amortization of actuarial losses driven by higher discount rates. This is partially offset by higher interest costs and lower expected returns, as a result of the lower value of plan assets at December 31, 2018 compared to 2017.
For further discussion of pension and other postretirement costs see the Management’s Discussion and Analysis on page 38 of this Form 10-Q and on page 45 of our 2018 Annual Report on Form 10-K. Management uses core operating earnings, core operating margin and core earnings per share for purposes of evaluating and forecasting underlying business performance. Management believes these core earnings measures provide investors additional insights into operational performance as unallocated pension and other postretirement benefit cost, primarily represent costs driven by market factors and costs not allocable to U.S. government contracts.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
737 MAX Grounding
On March 13, 2019, the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) issued an order to suspend operations of all 737 MAX aircraft in the U.S. and by U.S. aircraft operators following two fatal 737 MAX accidents. Non-U.S. civil aviation authorities have issued directives to the same effect. The grounding is having a significant adverse impact on our operations and creates significant uncertainty.
Multiple legal actions have been filed against us as a result of the October 29, 2018 accident of Lion Air Flight 610 and the March 10, 2019 accident of Ethiopian Airlines Flight 302. Further, we are fully cooperating with all ongoing governmental and regulatory investigations and inquiries relating to the accidents and the 737 MAX program. We cannot reasonably estimate a range of loss, if any, that may result given the ongoing status of these lawsuits, investigations, and inquiries. We have also experienced claims and/or assertions from customers in connection with the grounding.

52

Table of Contents

In the preparation of our financial statements, we have made assumptions regarding outcomes of accident investigations, timing and conditions of return to service, timing of future 737 production rate increases, supplier readiness to support production rate changes, timing and sequence of future customer deliveries as well as outcomes of negotiations with customers impacted by the grounding. These assumptions are highly uncertain and significantly affect the estimates inherent in our financial statements.
The 737 MAX grounding also affects projected revenues and costs associated with the 737 program accounting quantity. As a result of the grounding, we have reduced the 737 production rate from 52 per month to 42 per month and continue to evaluate further reductions in production rate, including a temporary shutdown in 737 production. Prior to the grounding, we had planned to increase the production rate to 57 per month in 2019. The FAA and other civil aviation authorities will determine the timing and conditions of the 737 MAX’s return to service. At June 30, 2019, we have assumed that regulatory approval of 737 MAX return to service in the U.S. and other jurisdictions begins early in the fourth quarter of 2019. We have further assumed a gradual increase in the production rate from 42 per month to 57 per month in 2020, and that deliveries of 737 MAX airplanes in inventory will occur over several quarters following return to service. The resulting impacts increased estimated costs to produce aircraft included in the current accounting quantity by $1,016 million and $1,748 million in the first and second quarters of 2019 and reduced 737 program and overall BCA segment operating margins. If the timing and conditions surrounding a return to service differ from our assumptions, it could have a material effect on our financial statements.
We recorded an earnings charge of $5,610 million, net of estimated insurance recoveries of $500 million, in the second quarter in connection with an estimate of potential concessions and other considerations to customers for disruptions related to the 737 MAX grounding and associated delivery delays. This charge represents our current best estimate of future concessions and other considerations we expect to provide to customers. This estimate relies on the exercise of judgment by management and is significantly impacted by the assumptions described above, as well as the status of negotiations with our customers. Any delays in return to service, further disruptions to our production system, supplier claims or assertions, or changes to estimated concessions and other considerations we expect to provide to customers could have a material adverse effect on our financial position, results of operations, and/or cash flows.
Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk
There have been no significant changes to our market risk since December 31, 2018.
Item 4. Controls and Procedures
(a)Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures.
Our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have evaluated our disclosure controls and procedures as of June 30, 2019 and have concluded that these disclosure controls and procedures are effective to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports that we file or submit under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission’s rules and forms and is accumulated and communicated to our management, including the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
(b)Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting.
There were no changes that occurred during the second quarter of 2019 that have materially affected or are reasonably likely to materially affect our internal control over financial reporting.

Part II. Other Information
Item 1. Legal Proceedings
Currently, we are involved in a number of legal proceedings. For a discussion of contingencies related to legal proceedings, see Note 19 to our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements, which is hereby incorporated by reference.
Item 1A. Risk Factors
Certain risks described below update the risk factors in Part I, Item 1A. Risk Factors in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2018.
The 737 MAX fleet is currently grounded, and we are subject to a number of risks and uncertainties related to the timing and conditions surrounding the aircraft’s return to service, including potential future reductions to the production rate and/or additional delivery delays, as well as risks associated with assumptions and estimates made in our financial statements regarding the 737 program.

On March 13, 2019, the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) issued an order to suspend operations of all 737 MAX aircraft in the U.S. and by U.S. aircraft operators following two fatal 737 MAX accidents. Non-U.S. civil aviation authorities have issued directives to the same effect. We are working closely with the relevant government authorities to support both accident investigations and are fully cooperating with other U.S. government investigations related to the accidents. Multiple legal actions have also been filed against us as a result of the accidents. While production continues on the 737 MAX, deliveries have been suspended until clearance is granted by the appropriate regulatory authorities. The grounding has reduced revenues, operating margins, and cash flows, and will continue to do so until deliveries resume and production rates increase. In connection with the effort to restore the 737 MAX to service, we have been developing a software update to the Maneuvering Characteristics Augmentation System, or MCAS, on the 737 MAX, together with an associated pilot training and supplementary education program. Further, on June 26, 2019, the FAA directed us to address a specific condition of flight, unrelated to MCAS, that the planned software update did not previously address. We agreed with the FAA's decision, and are currently working on the software to address this requirement, and we will not offer the 737 MAX for certification until we have satisfied all requirements for certification and the safe return of the 737 MAX to service. Any unanticipated delays in certification and/or return to service or other liabilities associated with the accidents or grounding could have a material adverse effect on our financial position, results of operations, and/or cash flows.
On April 5, 2019, we announced plans to reduce the 737 production rate from 52 aircraft per month to 42 per month effective April 15, 2019. In addition to being unable to deliver completed aircraft until the required certifications are obtained, impacts related to the reduced production rate have increased costs to produce aircraft included in the current accounting quantity and reduced 737 program and overall BCA segment operating margins. If we are unable to return the 737 MAX aircraft to service in one or more jurisdictions or begin deliveries to customers in a timely manner, we would incur additional costs and/or further reduce the 737 production rate. In addition, unanticipated delays in certification and/or return to service of the 737 MAX in one or more jurisdictions could result in significant additional disruption to the 737 production system, including further reductions in the production rate and/or a temporary shutdown in 737 production, delaying efforts to restore and/or implement previously planned increases in the 737 production rate. Cash flows could also be negatively impacted through a combination of delayed payments from customers and higher costs and inventory levels. In addition, we have experienced claims and assertions from customers in connection with the grounding, and we recorded an earnings charge of $5,610, net of estimated insurance recoveries of $500, in the second quarter in connection with an estimate of potential concessions and other considerations to customers for disruptions related to the grounding and associated delivery delays. Any such delays in return to service, further disruptions to our production system, supplier claims or assertions, or changes to estimated concessions or other considerations we expect to provide to customers could have a material adverse effect on our financial position, results of operations, and/or cash flows. The FAA and other civil aviation authorities will determine the timing and conditions of return to service. However, for purposes of our second-quarter financial results, we have assumed that regulatory approval of 737 MAX

54

Table of Contents

return to service in the U.S. and other jurisdictions begins early in the fourth quarter of 2019. This estimate reflects our best estimate at this time based on factors such as the expected effort required to complete the required software upgrades and estimated duration of the certification process. In the event of unanticipated additional training requirements in one or more jurisdictions, delays in the certification process, and/or delays in return to service, we may be required to take actions with longer-term impact, such as further production rate changes, employment reductions and/or the expenditure of significant resources to support our supply chain and/or customers.
As with our other commercial aircraft programs, we have made significant estimates with respect to the 737 program regarding the number of units to be produced, the period during which those units are likely to be produced, and the units’ expected sales prices, production costs, program tooling and other non-recurring costs, and routine warranty costs. In addition to the estimated timing of return to service, we have made assumptions regarding outcomes of accident investigations, timing of future 737 production rate increases, timing and sequence of future deliveries, as well as outcomes of negotiations with customers. Any changes in these estimates and/or assumptions with respect to the 737 program could have a material impact on our financial position, results of operations, and/or cash flows. For additional information, see our discussion under “Management’s Discussion and Analysis-Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates-737 MAX Grounding” on page 52.
