Spirit AeroSystems Reports Second Quarter 2025 Results

WICHITA, Kan., Aug. 5, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- 

Second quarter 2025

• Revenues of $1.6 billion
• EPS of $(5.36); Adjusted EPS* of $(3.34)
• Cash used in operations of $144 million; Free cash flow* usage of $190 million

Spirit AeroSystems Holdings, Inc. (NYSE: SPR) ("Spirit," "Spirit AeroSystems" or the "Company") reported second quarter 2025 financial results.

Revenue

Spirit's revenue in the second quarter of 2025 increased from the same period of 2024, primarily due to higher production activity on most Boeing programs, particularly the Boeing 737 and 787 programs. Overall deliveries increased during the second quarter of 2025 compared to the same period of 2024. Boeing 737 deliveries were significantly higher year-over-year due to the delay in deliveries during the first half of 2024 caused by the joint product verification process initiated by Boeing.

Spirit's backlog at the end of the second quarter of 2025 was approximately $51 billion, which includes work packages on all commercial platforms in the Airbus and Boeing backlog.

Earnings

Operating loss in the second quarter of 2025 increased compared to the same period of 2024, primarily resulting from losses on dispositions of businesses recorded during the second quarter of 2025 related to the planned transfer of certain assets and sites to Airbus. The Company recorded a loss of $133 million, representing the difference between the carrying value of the held for sale group and the negative fair value of the estimated consideration due to Airbus at the closure of the sale, inclusive of certain adjustments.

Total change in estimates in the second quarter of 2025 included net forward losses of $219 million and unfavorable cumulative catch-up adjustments of $20 million. Net forward losses were mainly driven by the Airbus A220, Airbus A350 and Boeing 787 programs of $100 million, $58 million and $38 million, respectively, resulting from foreign exchange rates, production performance, and supply chain cost growth, including tariffs on the Boeing 787 program. Unfavorable cumulative catch-up adjustments were primarily driven by increased production costs on the Boeing 737 program, including tariffs. Excess capacity costs during the second quarter of 2025 were $44 million. In comparison, total changes in estimates in the second quarter of 2024 included net forward losses of $214 million and unfavorable cumulative catch-up adjustments of $52 million. Additionally, excess capacity costs were $46 million in the same period of 2024.

Second quarter 2025 EPS was $(5.36), compared to $(3.56) in the same period of 2024. Adjusted to exclude the incremental deferred tax asset valuation allowance, second quarter 2025 adjusted EPS* was $(3.34), compared to $(2.73) in the second quarter of 2024.   

Cash

Cash from operations and free cash flow* during the second quarter of 2025 improved compared to the same period of 2024, largely resulting from the timing of working capital driven by higher Boeing 737 deliveries. The Company's cash balance at the end of the second quarter of 2025 was $370 million.

Developments in 2024 resulted in significant reductions in projected revenue and cash flows over the next twelve months. These developments include production and delivery process changes implemented by Boeing, lower than planned 737 production rates and the lack of price increases on Airbus programs. Although the customer advances received in 2024 and 2025 have provided essential operational liquidity, there can be no assurance that Spirit will be able to obtain additional advances from customers, repay current advances on the specified due dates, renegotiate the due dates or otherwise obtain additional liquidity as needed under acceptable terms or at all. We will need to obtain additional funding to sustain operations, as we expect to continue generating operating losses for the foreseeable future.

Management has developed a plan designed to improve liquidity. These plans are dependent upon many factors, including, among other things, the outcomes of active discussions related to customer advances including the timing or amounts of repayment for certain such advances, achieving forecasted 737 deliveries, the timing and expected proceeds received from certain divestitures and the expected timing and outcome of the transactions contemplated by the merger agreement with Boeing and the stock and asset purchase agreement with Airbus. Management is also evaluating additional strategies intended to improve liquidity to support operations, including, but not limited to, additional customer advances and restructuring of operations in an effort to increase efficiency and decrease expenses. However, there can be no assurance that these plans or strategies will sufficiently improve our liquidity needs or that we will otherwise realize the anticipated benefits. Accordingly, substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern exists.

Pending Boeing Acquisition of Spirit AeroSystems Update

On June 30, 2024, the Company entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger with The Boeing Company (the "Merger Agreement"). Upon completion of the merger, subject to the terms and conditions of the Merger Agreement, the Company would become a wholly owned subsidiary of Boeing. The closing of the transaction is expected to occur in the fourth quarter of 2025, subject to the completion of the divestiture of certain portions of Spirit's business related to the performance by Spirit and its subsidiaries of their obligations under their supply contracts with Airbus SE and other closing conditions, including receipt of regulatory approvals. In connection with the proposed merger, Spirit and Boeing have each received a request for additional information ("second request") from the Federal Trade Commission as part of the regulatory review process under the Hart-Scott-Rodino Antitrust Improvements Act of 1976, as amended (the "HSR Act"). The second request extends the waiting period imposed by the HSR Act until 30 days after Spirit and Boeing have substantially complied with the requests or the waiting period is terminated sooner by the Federal Trade Commission.

Subsequent Events

On July 4, 2025, P.L. 119-21, commonly known as the One Big Beautiful Bill Act (the "OBBBA"), was signed into law in the United States. The OBBBA includes a broad range of business tax reform provisions including enhanced deductibility of bonus depreciation, domestic research costs, and interest expense, as well as various changes to U.S. taxability of non-U.S. operations. While Spirit continues to assess the impact of the legislation, the OBBBA is not expected to have a material impact on the Company's financial statements or cash taxes in 2025.

On July 11, 2025, the Company, entered into a third amended and restated memorandum of agreement (the "MoA") with Airbus S.A.S., under which Airbus S.A.S. has agreed to, among other things, provide an additional $94 million support package (for a total of $152 million), which shall be used solely and exclusively for Airbus programs. Per the terms of the MoA, any assets purchased with the financial support will be directly or indirectly assumed by Airbus S.A.S. or one of its affiliates upon close of the transactions contemplated by the April 27, 2025 Stock and Asset Purchase Agreement between Spirit and Airbus SE.

Spirit has been involved in litigation in the 10th Circuit Court of Appeals (the "Appellate Court") with its former Chief Executive Officer, Larry Lawson, over Lawson's disputed violation of a restrictive covenant in his retirement and consulting agreement. On June 15, 2023, the District Court held that the restrictive covenant was enforceable as a matter of Kansas law. The District Court entered judgment in favor of Spirit on June 27, 2023. Lawson appealed the District Court's decision, and on April 25, 2025, the Appellate Court affirmed the District Court's judgement. The time for Lawson to seek further appeals on this issue has expired. As a result of the conclusion to this litigation, the Company will reverse accrued liabilities of approximately $48 million in the third quarter of 2025.

Segment Results

Commercial

Commercial segment revenue in the second quarter of 2025 increased from the same period of the prior year, primarily due to higher production activity on most Boeing and Airbus programs. Operating margin for the second quarter of 2025 increased compared to the same period of 2024, primarily driven by lower changes in estimate charges recorded in the current period compared to the same period of 2024. In the second quarter of 2025, change in estimates for the segment included $212 million of net forward losses and $11 million of unfavorable cumulative catch-up adjustments. Additionally, during the second quarter of 2025, the Commercial segment included excess capacity costs of $35 million. In comparison, during the second quarter of 2024, the segment recognized $212 million of net forward losses, $49 million of unfavorable cumulative catch-up adjustments, and excess capacity costs of $44 million.

Defense & Space

Defense & Space segment revenue in the second quarter of 2025 increased from the same period of the prior year. This increase was primarily due to higher activity on the Boeing P-8 program, partially offset by the lack of revenue from FMI resulting from the site divestiture.  Operating margin for the second quarter of 2025 decreased compared to the same period of 2024, primarily due to higher unfavorable changes in estimates recorded on the KC-46 Tanker and strategic programs as well as higher excess capacity costs. During the second quarter of 2025, the segment recorded net forward losses of $8 million, unfavorable cumulative catch-up adjustments of $9 million and excess capacity costs of $9 million. In comparison, during the second quarter of 2024, the segment recorded net forward losses of $1 million, unfavorable cumulative catch-up adjustments of $3 million and excess capacity costs of $2 million.

Aftermarket

Aftermarket segment revenue in the second quarter of 2025 increased slightly from the same period of the prior year. Operating margin in the second quarter of 2025 decreased compared to the second quarter of 2024, primarily due to sales mix and lower spares margins during the second quarter of 2025.

2025 Financial Outlook

In light of the Merger Agreement, and consistent with customary practice during the pendency of such transactions, Spirit will not provide guidance.

Additionally, due to the Merger Agreement, no conference call will be held in conjunction with this release. Full details of the Company's financial results are available in the Company's Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

Appendix
In addition to reporting our financial information using U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP), management believes that certain non-GAAP measures (which are indicated by * in this press release) provide investors with important perspectives into the company's ongoing business performance. The non-GAAP measures we use in this press release are (i) adjusted diluted earnings (loss) per share and (ii) free cash flow, which are described further below. 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 and calculate the measures differently than we do, limiting the usefulness of the measures for comparison with other companies.

Adjusted Diluted Earnings (Loss) Per Share. To provide additional transparency, we have disclosed non-GAAP adjusted diluted earnings (loss) per share (Adjusted EPS). This metric excludes various items that are not considered to be directly related to our operating performance. Management uses Adjusted EPS as a measure of business performance, and we believe this information is useful in providing period-to-period comparisons of our results. The most comparable GAAP measure is diluted earnings (loss) per share.

Free Cash Flow. Free Cash Flow is defined as GAAP cash provided by (used in) operating activities (also referred to herein as "cash from operations"), less capital expenditures for property, plant and equipment. Management believes Free Cash Flow provides investors with an important perspective on the cash available for stockholders, debt repayments including capital leases, 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. The most comparable GAAP measure is cash provided by (used in) operating activities. Management uses Free Cash Flow as a measure to assess both business performance and overall liquidity.

The tables below provide reconciliations between the GAAP and non-GAAP measures.
