Key Terms

gaap, non-gaap, free cash flow

3 terms

gaap financial

"GAAP loss per share of ($0.67) and core loss per share"

GAAP, or Generally Accepted Accounting Principles, are a set of standardized rules and guidelines that companies follow when preparing their financial statements. They ensure consistency, transparency, and comparability across different companies, making it easier for investors to understand and compare financial information accurately. This helps investors make informed decisions based on trustworthy and uniform financial reports.

View in glossary

non-gaap financial

"core loss per share (non-GAAP)* of ($0.76)"

Non-GAAP refers to financial measures that companies use to show their earnings or performance without including certain expenses or income that are often added back to give a different picture. It matters because it can make a company's results look better or more favorable, but it may also hide important costs, so investors need to look at both GAAP (official rules) and non-GAAP numbers to get a full understanding.

View in glossary

free cash flow financial

"free cash flow (non-GAAP)* of $0.6 billion"

Free cash flow is the amount of money a company has left over after paying all its expenses and investing in its business, like buying equipment or updating facilities. It shows how much cash is available to reward shareholders, pay down debt, or save for future growth. This helps investors understand if a company is financially healthy and able to grow.

Commercial Airplanes second quarter revenue of $11.8 billion and operating margin of (2.7) percent primarily reflects higher deliveries, favorable mix, improved performance, and other adjustments.

The 737 program began transitioning production to 47 per month rate in the quarter and activated low-rate initial production on the 737 North Line in July.  As of July, certification flight testing has been completed on both the 737-7 and 737-10. The company continues to anticipate certification in 2026 and first delivery in 2027 for both variants. In the quarter, the 777X program received FAA approval to begin certification flight testing under Type Inspection Authorization 4B. The company continues to anticipate first delivery in 2027.

Commercial Airplanes booked 246 net orders including orders from Korean Air, Delta Air Lines, and SMBC Capital. Commercial Airplanes delivered 171 airplanes and backlog included over 6,200 airplanes valued at a record $597 billion.

Defense, Space & Security

Table 5. Defense, Space & Security		Second Quarter						First Half

Operating margins		(0.2) %		1.7 %		(1.9) Pts		1.4 %		2.1 %		(0.7) Pts

Defense, Space & Security second quarter revenue was $7.5 billion driven by higher volume. Operating margin was (0.2) percent in the quarter. Results include $280 million of losses on the VC-25B program primarily driven by an investment in additional production and certification resources. The company continues to anticipate first delivery in 2028.

During the quarter, Defense, Space & Security secured an award from the U.S. Space Force to provide proprietary communications capabilities, successfully completed first flight and received Milestone C on the U.S. Navy MQ-25A Stingray, and began low-rate initial production of the U.S. Air Force T-7A Red Hawk. Backlog at Defense, Space & Security was $85 billion, with 27 percent representing orders from customers outside the U.S.

Global Services

Global Services second quarter revenue was $5.3 billion on higher volume. Operating margin of 18.1 percent reflects impacts from the Digital Aviation Solutions divestiture, higher costs, and unfavorable mix.

In the quarter, Global Services captured an award from the U.S. Navy to provide training systems for the P-8A and announced an agreement with Alaska Airlines to integrate the Boeing Virtual Airplane training solution. Global Services ended the quarter with backlog of $33 billion.

Non-GAAP Measures Disclosures

We supplement the reporting of our financial information determined under Generally Accepted Accounting Principles in the United States of America (GAAP) with certain non-GAAP financial information. The non-GAAP financial information presented excludes certain significant items that may not be indicative of, or are unrelated to, results from our ongoing business operations. We believe that these non-GAAP measures provide investors with additional insight into the company's ongoing business performance. These non-GAAP measures should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for the related GAAP measures, and other companies may define such measures differently. We encourage investors to review our financial statements and publicly-filed reports in their entirety and not to rely on any single financial measure. The following definitions are provided:

Core Operating Earnings/(Loss), Core Operating Margins and Core Earnings/(Loss) Per Share

Core operating earnings/(loss) is defined as GAAP Earnings/(loss) from operations excluding the FAS/CAS service cost adjustment. The FAS/CAS service cost adjustment represents the difference between the Financial Accounting Standards (FAS) pension and postretirement service costs calculated under GAAP and costs allocated to the business segments. Core operating margins is defined as Core operating earnings/(loss) expressed as a percentage of revenue. Core earnings/(loss) per share is defined as GAAP Diluted earnings/(loss) per share excluding the net earnings/(loss) per share impact of the FAS/CAS service cost adjustment and Non-operating pension and postretirement expenses. Non-operating pension and postretirement expenses represent the components of net periodic benefit costs other than service cost. Pension costs allocated to BDS and BGS businesses supporting government customers are computed in accordance with U.S. Government Cost Accounting Standards (CAS), which employ different actuarial assumptions and accounting conventions than GAAP. CAS costs are allocable to government contracts. Other postretirement benefit costs are allocated to all business segments based on CAS, which is generally based on benefits paid. Management uses core operating earnings/(loss), core operating margins and core earnings/(loss) per share for purposes of evaluating and forecasting underlying business performance. Management believes these core measures provide investors additional insights into operational performance as they exclude non-service pension and post-retirement costs, which primarily represent costs driven by market factors and costs not allocable to government contracts. A reconciliation of these non-GAAP measures to the most directly comparable GAAP measure is provided on page 12.

Free Cash Flow

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