Insights
Spirit AeroSystems' Q1 results reveal critical liquidity crisis with substantial doubt about ability to continue as going concern while awaiting Boeing acquisition.
Spirit AeroSystems' Q1 2025 results paint an alarming financial picture that raises serious concerns about the company's survival without the pending Boeing acquisition. Revenue dropped
The most critical revelation is management's explicit statement that "substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern exists." This language represents a severe warning about Spirit's financial viability. The cash balance has plummeted to just
Cash burn is accelerating at an unsustainable rate, with
The results were damaged by significant forward losses across multiple programs:
The lifeline appears to be the pending acquisition by Boeing (expected in Q3 2025) and the agreement to transfer Airbus-related assets to Airbus for nominal consideration plus
Spirit's operational metrics show systemic production issues across multiple aircraft programs, with concerning quality problems affecting financial viability.
The operational data in Spirit's Q1 results reveals fundamental production challenges across its entire portfolio. While Boeing 737 deliveries increased to 127 units (versus 44 in Q1 2024), this improvement is misleading as it comes against an artificially depressed comparison period caused by the joint product verification process delays last year. More tellingly, the report states that actual production activity on Boeing programs, particularly the 737, has decreased year-over-year.
The deeper operational issues are exposed in the significant forward losses across multiple aircraft platforms. The Airbus A350 program generated
Quality control issues continue to plague the manufacturer, evidenced by the

Spirit AeroSystems Holdings, Inc. (NYSE: SPR) ("Spirit," "Spirit AeroSystems" or the "Company") reported first quarter 2025 financial results.
Revenue
Spirit's revenue in the first quarter of 2025 decreased from the same period of 2024, primarily due to lower production activity on most Boeing programs, particularly the Boeing 737 program. For the Boeing 737 program, production activity during the first quarter of 2024 was higher due to preparation for expected rate increases which were subsequently delayed later in that same period. This decrease was partially offset by higher production activity on Airbus programs during the first quarter of 2025.
Overall deliveries increased during the first 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 caused by the initiation of the joint product verification process with Boeing during the first quarter of 2024.
Spirit's backlog at the end of the first quarter of 2025 was approximately

Cash
Cash from operations and free cash flow* during the first quarter of 2025 decreased compared to the same period of 2024, largely resulting from the timing of working capital, partially offset by higher Boeing 737 deliveries. The Company's cash balance at the end of the first quarter of 2025 was
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 the timing or amounts of repayment for certain customer 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 third 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 Hard-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 April 28, 2025, the Company announced that it has entered into a definitive agreement with Airbus SE (the "Airbus Divestiture Agreement") to transfer ownership of certain assets and sites involved in the production of Airbus aerostructures to Airbus. Airbus SE would acquire these assets and sites, excluding any portions thereof to be acquired by third parties, and cash in the amount of
Additionally, on April 28, 2025, Spirit disclosed that it has entered into a memorandum of agreement with Airbus S.A.S. under which Airbus S.A.S. has agreed to, among other things, provide Spirit with non-interest-bearing lines of credit in an aggregate amount of
Segment Results
Commercial
Commercial segment revenue in the first quarter of 2025 decreased from the same period of the prior year, primarily due to lower production activity on most Boeing programs, particularly the Boeing 737 program, as discussed above. Operating margin for the first quarter of 2025 decreased compared to the same period of 2024, primarily driven by lower production activity and margins on Boeing programs and the warranty reserve discussed above, partially offset by lower changes in estimate charges recorded in the current period compared to the same period of 2024. In the first quarter of 2025, change in estimates for the segment included
Defense & Space
Defense & Space segment revenue in the first 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 and Sikorsky CH-53K, partially offset by the lack of revenue from FMI resulting from the site divestiture. Operating margin for the first quarter of 2025 decreased compared to the same period of 2024, primarily due to additional forward losses recorded on the KC-46 Tanker and KC-135 programs. The segment recorded net forward losses of
Aftermarket
Aftermarket segment revenue in the first quarter of 2025 increased slightly from the same period of the prior year. Operating margin in the first quarter of 2025 decreased slightly compared to the first quarter of 2024, primarily due to sales mix.
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.

U.S. and globally, and on the global aerospace supply chain; - the general effect of geopolitical conditions, including
Russia's invasion ofUkraine and the resultant sanctions being imposed in response to the conflict, including any trade and transport restrictions; - the conflict in the
Middle East could impact certain suppliers' ability to continue production or make timely deliveries of supplies required to produce and timely deliver our products, and may result in sanctions being imposed in response to the conflict, including trade and transport restrictions; - our relationships with the unions representing many of our employees, including our ability to successfully negotiate new agreements, and avoid labor disputes and work stoppages with respect to our union-represented employees;
- the impact of significant health events, such as pandemics, contagions or other public health emergencies (including the COVID-19 pandemic) or fear of such events, on the demand for our and our customers' products and services, and on the industries and markets in which we operate in the
U.S. and globally; - the timing and conditions surrounding the full worldwide return to service (including receiving the remaining regulatory approvals) of the B737 MAX, future demand for the aircraft, and any residual impacts of the B737 MAX grounding on production rates for the aircraft;
- our reliance on Boeing and Airbus SE and its affiliates for a significant portion of our revenues;
- the business condition and liquidity of our customers and their ability to satisfy their contractual obligations to the Company;
- the certainty of our backlog, including the ability of customers to cancel or delay orders prior to shipment on short notice, and the potential impact of regulatory approvals of existing and derivative models;
- our ability to accurately estimate and manage performance, cost, margins, and revenue under our contracts, and the potential for additional forward losses on new and maturing programs;
- our accounting estimates for revenue and costs for our contracts and potential changes to those estimates;
- our ability to continue to grow and diversify our business, execute our growth strategy, and secure replacement programs, including our ability to enter into profitable supply arrangements with additional customers;

- the impact of trade disputes and changes to trade policies, including the imposition of new or increased tariffs, retaliatory tariffs or other trade restrictions; and
- risks and uncertainties relating to the proposed acquisition of Spirit by Boeing (the "Merger") pursuant to the Merger Agreement and the transactions contemplated by our stock and asset purchase agreement with Airbus SE (the "Airbus Business Disposition" and, together with the Merger, the "Transactions"), including, among others, the possible inability of the parties to a Transaction to obtain the required regulatory approvals for such Transaction and to satisfy the other conditions to the closing of such Transaction on a timely basis or at all; the possible occurrence of events that may give rise to a right of one or more of the parties to the Merger Agreement or the agreement for the Airbus Business Disposition to terminate such agreement; the risk that we are unable to consummate the Transactions on a timely basis or at all for any reason, including, without limitation, failure to obtain the required regulatory approvals, or failure to satisfy other conditions to the closing of either of the Transactions; the potential for the pendency of the Transactions or any failure to consummate the Transactions to adversely affect the market price of Spirit common stock or our financial performance or business relationships; risks relating to the value of Boeing common stock to be issued in the Merger; the possibility that the anticipated benefits of the Transactions cannot be realized in full or at all or may take longer to realize than expected; the possibility that costs or difficulties related to the integration of our operations with those of Boeing will be greater than expected; risks relating to significant transaction costs; the intended or actual tax treatment of the Transactions; litigation or other legal or regulatory action relating to the Transactions or otherwise relating to us or other parties to the Transactions instituted against us or such other parties or Spirit's or such other parties' respective directors and officers and the effect of the outcome of any such litigation or other legal or regulatory action; risks associated with contracts containing provisions that may be triggered by the Transactions; potential difficulties in retaining and hiring key personnel or arising in connection with labor disputes during the pendency of or following the Transactions; the risk of other Transaction-related disruptions to our business, including business plans and operations; the potential for the Transactions to divert the time and attention of management from ongoing business operations; the potential for contractual restrictions under the agreements relating to the Transactions to adversely affect our ability to pursue other business opportunities or strategic transactions; and competitors' responses to the Transactions.
These factors are not exhaustive, and it is not possible for us to predict all factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those reflected in our forward-looking statements. These factors speak only as of the date hereof, and new factors may emerge or changes to the foregoing factors may occur that could impact our business. As with any projection or forecast, these statements are inherently susceptible to uncertainty and changes in circumstances. Except to the extent required by law, we undertake no obligation to, and expressly disclaim any obligation to, publicly update or revise any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events, or otherwise.

Appendix
In addition to reporting our financial information using
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.
