CHICAGO, April 23, 2008 – The Boeing Company’s [NYSE: BA] first-quarter 2008 earnings per share increased 43 percent to $1.62 as net income rose 38 percent to $1.2 billion and operating margin rose to 11.3 percent, driven by solid overall execution in both its commercial airplane and defense businesses as well as lower unallocated costs (Table 1).

Boeing’s quarterly revenue rose 4 percent to $16.0 billion while its operating cash flow more than doubled to $1.9 billion reflecting the strong operating earnings and higher commercial airplane orders. Free cash flow* increased to $1.5 billion (Table 2).

Boeing reaffirmed its 2008 earnings per share guidance at between $5.70 and $5.85. For 2009, Boeing expects EPS between $6.80 and $7.00 per share on strong production program performance and decreases in R&D and pension expense.

“We’re off to a good start in what we expect to be another strong year of financial performance for Boeing,” said Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer Jim McNerney. “We are methodically working through our challenges, including the start-up of the 787, and our people remain focused on satisfying our customers and leveraging growth and productivity into better bottom-line and top-line performance for our company.”

Total company backlog at quarter-end reached a record $346 billion, up 32 percent in the last year, with growth in the quarter driven by commercial airplane and V-22 multi-year orders.

Also in the first quarter, the company contributed $506 million to its pension plans.

Segment Results

Commercial Airplanes

Boeing Commercial Airplanes (BCA) first-quarter revenues rose to $8.2 billion on an 8 percent increase in airplane deliveries and higher services volume, partially offset by lower aircraft trading volume (Table 4). Operating earnings grew 39 percent to $983 million while margins expanded to 12.0 percent, driven by higher delivery volume and services sales and lower R&D spending. During the quarter, the company delivered its 1,400th 747 airplane and its 700th 777 airplane.

BCA booked 289 gross orders during the quarter. Contractual backlog rose to a record $271 billion, increasing to more than seven times BCA’s expected 2008 revenues.

Progress on the new 787 Dreamliner continues on the revised schedule announced earlier this month. As reported at that time, Boeing continues to address slower-than-expected completion of work that traveled from supplier facilities into Boeing’s final assembly line and unanticipated rework. The company expects the first flight to occur in the fourth quarter of 2008 with first deliveries to begin in the third quarter of 2009. Recent milestones include successful completion of structural testing of the horizontal stabilizer, completion of full-scale test flights in our simulators, completion of integration testing required for putting electrical power on the airplane, and airworthiness certification of the General Electric engine. The program won 75 orders in the quarter, and total firm orders since launch rose to 892 airplanes from 57 customers.

Integrated Defense Systems

Boeing Integrated Defense Systems (IDS) expanded operating margins by 120 basis points to 11.4 percent on revenues of $7.6 billion. IDS results reflect strong execution in all segments and extensive productivity improvements.

Precision Engagement & Mobility Systems delivered first-quarter operating earnings of $389 million on $3.3 billion in revenue. Revenue was affected by fewer deliveries on several aircraft programs offset by initial deliveries of two KC-767 international tankers and higher F-15 deliveries. Operating margin was 11.9 percent reflecting product mix and aircraft deliveries in the quarter. In this segment, the company captured a multi-year contract for V-22s and a CH-47 contract. The Air Force awarded the initial KC-X Tanker contract to Northrop Grumman-EADS; Boeing has filed a protest of that award with the Government Accountability Office.

Network & Space Systems achieved significant milestones on several key programs. Operating margin nearly doubled to 9.9 percent driven by strong performance across the segment’s array of programs and a favorable settlement on a satellite program. Last year’s results were affected by adjustments related to the United Launch Alliance joint venture and revised cost estimates on a satellite program.

Support Systems continues to generate strong profits on its broad portfolio of services and logistics programs. Operating margin was a strong 12.5 percent, reflecting solid program execution and contract mix. In this segment, the company captured the first multi-year sustainment contract for the F-22 Raptor fleet.

The IDS backlog increased during the quarter to $74.8 billion driven by the new V-22 multi-year procurement contract. IDS’ backlog is currently more than two times expected 2008 revenues.

Boeing Capital Corporation

Boeing Capital Corporation (BCC) reported first-quarter pre-tax earnings of $61 million compared to $73 million in the same period last year which included a larger portfolio (Table 6). BCC’s portfolio balance at the end of the quarter was $6.3 billion, down 20 percent from $7.9 billion last year primarily on customer prepayments, normal portfolio run-off and depreciation. BCC contributed $35 million in cash dividends to the company during the quarter. BCC’s debt-to-equity ratio was unchanged at 5.0-to-1.

Additional Information

The “Other” segment consists primarily of Boeing Engineering, Operations and Technology, as well as certain results related to the consolidation of all business units. Other segment expense was $50 million in the first quarter, reduced slightly from $55 million of expense in the same period last year.

Unallocated expense was $55 million, down from $199 million in the same quarter last year, driven by lower deferred compensation and pension expense.

Total pension expense for the quarter decreased by $61 million to $191 million, of which $124 million was allocated to BCA and IDS, and the remaining $67 million recorded as unallocated expense.

Outlook

The company’s financial guidance summarized in Table 7 reflects strong business performance forecasts at IDS and BCA, increasing commercial airplane deliveries, decreasing investment in new airplane development and company-wide productivity gains. The outlook reflects the impact of the previously announced 787 schedule changes.

Boeing’s 2008 revenue guidance is unchanged at between $67 billion and $68 billion. For 2009, the company expects revenues between $72 billion and $73 billion. Earnings-per-share guidance for 2008 is reaffirmed at $5.70 to $5.85 per share. EPS guidance for 2009 is set at between $6.80 and $7.00 per share. Operating cash flow guidance for 2008 is unchanged at greater than $2.5 billion. Operating cash flow for 2009 is expected to exceed $6 billion.

Commercial Airplanes’ 2008 delivery guidance remains between 475 and 480 airplanes and is sold out. BCA revenue guidance for 2008 remains between $34.5 billion and $35 billion, and operating margin guidance is unchanged at approximately 11.5 percent. In 2009 BCA expects to deliver between 500 and 505 commercial airplanes – including approximately 25 Dreamliners – and is essentially sold out. Commercial Airplanes’ revenue in 2009 is expected to grow to between $37 billion and $38 billion accompanied by margins of approximately 11.5 percent. The company expects to deliver more airplanes in 2010 than in 2009.

IDS revenue guidance for 2008 is unchanged at $32 billion to $33 billion. Operating margins are expected to be approximately 10.5 percent. For 2009, IDS expects revenue to grow to $33.5 billion to $34.5 billion, with operating margins exceeding 10.5 percent.

Boeing’s total R&D forecast for 2008 is increased to between $3.6 billion and $3.8 billion, up from between $3.2 billion and $3.4 billion due to the new 787 schedule announced earlier this month and additional 747-8 costs. R&D spending is expected to decline in 2009 to between $3.1 billion and $3.3 billion. Annual capital expenditures are expected to be approximately $1.8 billion in 2008, declining in 2009 to approximately $1.7 billion.

The company’s non-cash pension expense is expected to be approximately $0.8 billion for 2008, falling to approximately $0.5 billion in 2009, though it may vary due to

discount rates and investment returns. Discretionary cash funding of Boeing’s pension plans is expected to be approximately $0.5 billion in each of 2008 (contributed during the first quarter) and 2009, though the company will continue to evaluate making additional discretionary contributions to its pension plans.

Non-GAAP Measure Disclosure

Management believes that the non-GAAP (Generally Accepted Accounting Principles) measures (indicated by an asterisk *) used in this report provide investors with important perspectives into the company’s ongoing business performance. The company does not intend for the information to be considered in isolation or as a substitute for the related GAAP measures. Other companies may define the measures differently. The following definitions are provided:

Free Cash Flow

Free cash flow is defined as GAAP operating cash flow less capital expenditures for property, plant and equipment additions. Management believes free cash flow provides investors with an important perspective on the cash available for shareholders, debt repayment, and acquisitions after making the capital investments required to support ongoing business operations and long term value creation. Free cash flow does not represent the residual cash flow available for discretionary expenditures as it excludes certain mandatory expenditures such as repayment of maturing debt. Management uses free cash flow internally to assess both business performance and overall liquidity. Table 2 provides a reconciliation between GAAP operating cash flow and free cash flow.
