Rhea-AI Filing Summary
Boeing reported a small Q1 2026 loss despite higher revenue. Total revenues rose to $22,217 million from $19,496 million, driven mainly by growth at Commercial Airplanes and Defense, Space & Security. GAAP earnings from operations were $448 million, but net loss attributable to shareholders was $4 million, or ($0.11) diluted loss per share.
Profitability and cash flow remain pressured. Core operating earnings (which exclude pension/postretirement service cost adjustments) improved to $293 million from $199 million, yet operating margin was only 2.0% and core margin 1.3%. Operating cash flow was an outflow of $179 million, a major improvement from ($1,616 million) a year earlier. Cash and cash equivalents ended at $9,441 million, while total debt carrying value was $46,962 million.
Strategic moves and backlog shape the longer-term picture. Boeing is integrating its $8,389 million Spirit AeroSystems acquisition, with preliminary goodwill of $10,360 million largely assigned to Commercial Airplanes. Company-wide backlog reached $694,709 million, with about 24% expected to convert to revenue through 2027 and 65% through 2030, though management highlights risks from development and certification delays.

Insights
Revenue and backlog are strong, but margins, cash flow and program risks remain tight.
Boeing grew Q1 2026 revenue to $22.2 billion, mainly from higher Commercial Airplanes and Defense volumes. Core operating earnings improved to $293 million, signaling slightly better underlying performance once pension accounting noise is stripped out.
However, GAAP operating margin was only 2.0% and the quarter still produced a net loss attributable to shareholders of $4 million. Key commercial programs carry large deferred production costs and long-running fixed‑price defense contracts continue to pose reach‑forward loss risk, which can pressure future profitability.
Liquidity is adequate but not comfortable. Operating cash outflow narrowed sharply to $179 million, cash stood at $9.4 billion, and debt carrying value was $47.0 billion. The $8.389 billion Spirit AeroSystems acquisition adds scale and potential synergies but also integration and balance‑sheet risk. Backlog of $694.7 billion offers long visibility, yet conversion depends on resolving development, certification and supply‑chain challenges described in the filing.

Core operating earnings financial
"Core operating earnings | $293 | $199 Core operating margins | 1.3 | %"
Core operating earnings are the profit a company generates from its regular, day-to-day business activities after removing one-time events, non-operating gains or losses, and other unusual items. Think of it as household income from your job, excluding sporadic gifts or sell-offs; it shows the steady, repeatable earning power of the business. Investors use it to judge underlying health and compare performance across periods or peers without noise from exceptional items.
FAS/CAS service cost adjustment financial
"FAS/CAS service cost adjustment | 155 | 262 Earnings from operations | 448 | 461"
reach-forward loss financial
"reach-forward loss on the T-7A Red Hawk program that was primarily driven by projected increases in supplier cost estimates"
Mandatory convertible preferred stock financial
"6.00% Series A Mandatory Convertible Preferred Stock (Mandatory convertible preferred stock)."
A mandatory convertible preferred stock is a type of investment that pays regular income like a preferred share but is designed to automatically turn into a set number of common shares at a future date, much like a timed coupon that becomes company ownership. It matters to investors because it combines a near-term income stream with a guaranteed future increase in the company’s share count, which can dilute existing owners and change earnings-per-share and voting balance.
non-prosecution agreement regulatory
"non-prosecution agreement (the Agreement) to resolve the Department’s determination"

(Unaudited)
Note 1 – Basis 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 March 31, 2026, 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 2025 Annual Report on Form 10-K.
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.
Goodwill
Our Military Aircraft reporting unit within our Defense, Space & Security (BDS) segment had goodwill of $1,295 and a negative carrying value at March 31, 2026.
Long-term Contracts
Substantially all contracts at our BDS segment and certain contracts at our Global Services (BGS) segment are long-term contracts with the U.S. government and other customers that generally extend over several years. 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 revenues and costs at completion for a long-term contract indicate a loss, a provision for the entire reach-forward loss on the long-term contract is recognized.
The table below reflects the impact of net cumulative catch-up adjustments for changes in estimated revenues and costs at completion across all long-term contracts, including the impact to Earnings from operations from changes in estimated losses on unexercised options.

Note 2 – Spirit Acquisition
On December 8, 2025, we completed our acquisition of Spirit AeroSystems Holdings, Inc. (Spirit) pursuant to the Agreement and Plan of Merger dated June 30, 2024 (Merger Agreement). In connection with the closing of the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement (Spirit Acquisition), Boeing became the ultimate parent company of Spirit and its respective subsidiaries, including Spirit AeroSystems, Inc.
Total consideration for the Spirit Acquisition was $8,389 comprised of the following:
Boeing common stock exchanged for Spirit common stock (1) | $ | ||||
Settlement of loans, advances and other payments to Spirit | |||||
| Debt repaid on Spirit’s behalf | |||||
Premium on assumed Spirit Exchangeable Notes | |||||
Exchange of Spirit share-based awards (1) | |||||
Fair value of total consideration | $ | ||||
(1) Fair value of consideration reflects the price per share of Boeing common stock on the acquisition date.
The preliminary allocation of the purchase price was as follows:

| Cash and cash equivalents | $ | $ | ||||||

The amounts recorded for acquired assets and assumed liabilities are preliminary and are based on the information available as of the reporting date. The primary areas that remain preliminary relate to the fair values of inventories, property, plant and equipment, goodwill, intangible assets, and off-market contracts. The Company will continue to adjust the provisional estimates as additional information becomes available and final valuation and analyses are completed. Provisional goodwill of $10,360 associated with the Spirit Acquisition was provisionally assigned to our Commercial Airplanes (BCA) segment as we expect the majority of synergies from the Spirit Acquisition to relate to the commercial airplane segment. The acquired intangible assets primarily relate to customer relationships and have a weighted-average useful life of five years . Accrued liabilities includes $1,500 for the fair value of off-market customer

contracts measured as the present value of the amount by which the terms of the contract deviated from the terms that a market participant could have achieved. Future estimated revenues from the amortization of off-market contract liabilities is as follows:

We expect to finalize the purchase price allocation as soon as practicable, but no later than one year from the acquisition date.
Note 3 – Earnings 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 attributable to Boeing shareholders, less Mandatory convertible preferred stock dividends accumulated during the period and earnings available to participating securities, divided by the basic weighted average common shares outstanding.
Diluted earnings per share is calculated by taking net earnings attributable to Boeing shareholders, less Mandatory convertible preferred stock dividends accumulated during the period and earnings available to participating securities, divided by the diluted weighted average common shares outstanding. Diluted weighted average common shares outstanding is calculated using the treasury stock method for share-based compensation awards and the if-converted method for Mandatory convertible preferred stock and Spirit Exchangeable Notes. Under the if-converted method, if the potential conversion of our Mandatory convertible preferred stock and/or Spirit Exchangeable Notes is dilutive, net earnings attributable to Boeing shareholders is adjusted to add back the Mandatory convertible preferred stock dividends accumulated during the period and/or the periodic interest expense on the Spirit Exchangeable Notes, net of tax.

In addition, potential common shares of 37.0 million and 37.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, were excluded from the computation of Diluted loss per share, because the effect would have been antidilutive as a result of incurring a net loss available to common shareholders in those periods.
Note 4 – Income Taxes
Our effective tax rates were 126.9 % and 140.8 % for the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025. The effective tax rate for the three months ended March 31, 2026, primarily reflects an increase in the domestic valuation allowance treated as a discrete expense.
As of December 31, 2025, we had recorded valuation allowances of $9,754 primarily for certain domestic deferred tax assets, and certain domestic net operating losses, tax credit and interest carryforwards. To measure the valuation allowance, the Company estimated in what year each of its deferred tax assets and liabilities would reverse using systematic and logical methods to estimate the reversal patterns. The

Table of Contents
valuation allowance results from not having sufficient income from deferred tax liability reversals in the appropriate future periods to support the realization of deferred tax assets.
Federal income tax audits have been settled for all years prior to 2021. We expect the next cycle to cover the 2021-2023 tax years; however, the Internal Revenue Service has not confirmed a start date. We are also subject to examination in major state and international jurisdictions for the 2010-2024 tax years. We believe appropriate provisions for all outstanding tax issues have been made for all jurisdictions and all open years.

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 costs 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 remediation cannot be reasonably estimated. At March 31, 2026, and December 31, 2025, the high end of the estimated range of reasonably possible remediation costs exceeded our recorded liabilities by $1,171 and $1,171 .

Commercial Aircraft Trade-In Commitments
In conjunction with signing definitive agreements for the sale of new 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. 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 March 31, 2026, have expiration dates from 2026 through 2033. At March 31, 2026, and December 31, 2025, total contractual trade-in commitments were $1,228 and $1,267 . As of March 31, 2026, and December 31, 2025, we estimated it was probable we would be obligated to perform on certain of these commitments with net amounts payable to customers totaling $61 and $67 and the fair value of the related trade-in aircraft was $56 and $61 .
Financing Commitments
Financing commitments related to aircraft on order, including options and those proposed in sales campaigns, and refinancing of delivered aircraft, totaled $17,730 and $15,229 as of March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025. The estimated earliest potential funding dates for these commitments as of March 31, 2026 are as follows:
| Total | |||||
April through December 2026 | $ | ||||
| 2027 | |||||
| 2028 | |||||
| 2029 | |||||
| 2030 | |||||
| Thereafter | |||||
Total | $ | ||||
As of March 31, 2026, $12,590 of these financing commitments relate to customers we believe have less than investment-grade credit. We have concluded that no reserve for future potential losses is required for these financing commitments based upon the terms, such as collateralization and interest rates, under which funding would be provided.
Other Financial Commitments
We have financial commitments to make additional capital contributions totaling $281 to certain joint ventures over the next 12 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 and security agreements. Contingent liabilities on outstanding letters of credit agreements and surety bonds aggregated approximately $3,340 and $3,295 as of March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025.
Supply Chain Financing Programs
The Company has supply chain financing programs in place under which participating suppliers may elect to obtain payment from an intermediary. The Company confirms the validity of invoices from participating suppliers and agrees to pay the intermediary an amount based on invoice totals. The majority of amounts payable under these programs are due within 30 to 90 days. At March 31, 2026, and December 31, 2025,
15
Table of Contents
Accounts payable included $1,828 and $1,994 payable to suppliers who have elected to participate in these programs. We do not believe that future changes in the availability of supply chain financing would have a significant impact on our liquidity.
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.
Fixed-Price Contracts
Long-term contracts that are contracted on a fixed-price basis or have fixed-price options have resulted in losses being recorded in prior periods and could result in losses in future periods. Certain of the fixed-price contracts are for the development of new products, services and related technologies, a number of which have reach-forward losses. Estimating the cost and time for us and our suppliers to complete these contracts is inherently uncertain due to operational and technical complexities. This uncertainty requires us to make significant judgments and assumptions about future operational and technical performance, and the outcome of customer and/or supplier contractual negotiations. The risk that actual performance, technical or contractual outcomes could be different than those previously assumed creates financial risk that could trigger additional material earnings charges, termination provisions, order cancellations, or other financially significant exposure.
VC-25B Presidential Aircraft
The Company’s firm fixed-price contract for the Engineering and Manufacturing Development (EMD) effort on the U.S. Air Force's (USAF) VC-25B Presidential Aircraft, commonly known as Air Force One, is a $4 billion program to develop and modify two 747-8 commercial aircraft. During 2025, we increased the reach-forward loss on the contract by $60 . The increased reach-forward loss in 2025 was due to increases in supplier costs. We expect finalization of the contract terms to reset the schedule and adjust the requirements in 2026. Risk remains that we may record additional losses in future periods.
KC-46A Tanker
In 2011, we were awarded a contract from the USAF to design, develop, manufacture, and deliver four next-generation aerial refueling tankers as well as priced options for 13 annual production lots totaling 179 aircraft. Since 2016, the USAF has authorized 12 low rate initial production (LRIP) lots for a total of 169 aircraft. The EMD contract and authorized LRIP lots total approximately $32 billion as of March 31, 2026. The KC-46A Tanker is a derivative of the 767 commercial airplane program with the majority of the manufacturing costs being incurred in the 767 factory and the remaining costs being incurred in the military finishing and delivery centers. During 2025, we increased the reach-forward loss on the KC-46A Tanker program by $714 . The additional reach-forward loss during 2025 was primarily driven by higher estimated manufacturing and engineering costs for production support. As of March 31, 2026, we had approximately $69 of capitalized precontract costs and $74 of potential termination liabilities to suppliers related to future production lots. Risk remains that we may record additional losses in future periods.
MQ-25
In the third quarter of 2018, we were awarded the MQ-25 EMD contract by the U.S. Navy. The contract is a fixed-price contract that now includes development and delivery of seven aircraft and test articles at a contract price of $890 . In connection with winning the competition, we recognized a reach-forward loss of $291 in the third quarter of 2018. We have recognized additional losses in subsequent periods. During the first half of 2025, we initiated final assembly operations at our new facility at Mid-America St. Louis Airport in Mascoutah, Illinois, and began ground-based flight testing. Risk remains that we may record additional losses in future periods.

T-7A Red Hawk EMD Contract & Production Options
In 2018, we were awarded the T-7A Red Hawk program. The EMD portion of the contract was a $860 fixed-price contract and included five aircraft and seven simulators. In June 2025, the customer ordered four production representative test vehicles. The production portion of the contract includes production lots for 342 T-7A Red Hawk aircraft and related services that we believe are probable of being exercised. We recorded a reach-forward loss of $400 when the contract was awarded in 2018. We have recognized additional losses in subsequent periods. We have delivered the five EMD aircraft and the flight testing is ongoing. At March 31, 2026, we had approximately $400 of capitalized precontract costs and $1,002 of potential termination liabilities to suppliers related to certain long-lead items for future production lots. Risk remains that we may record additional losses in future periods.
Commercial Crew
In 2014, the National Aeronautics and Space Administration contracted us to design and build the CST-100 Starliner spacecraft to transport crews to the International Space Station (ISS). We have recorded reach-forward losses on this program. The first Crewed Flight Test launched on June 5, 2024, and docked with the ISS. Its return to Earth was delayed to allow time to perform further testing of propulsion system anomalies and returned to Earth uncrewed in September 2024. We expect to launch an uncrewed mission no earlier than June 2026 and a crewed mission later in 2026. We are continuing to work toward crew certification and resolve the propulsion system anomalies. At March 31, 2026, we had approximately $554 of capitalized precontract costs and $28 of potential termination liabilities to suppliers related to unauthorized future missions. Risk remains that we may record additional losses in future periods.
Note 11 – Arrangements 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. The carrying amount of liabilities represents the amount included in Accrued liabilities.
| Maximum Potential Payments | Estimated Proceeds from Collateral/Recourse | Carrying Amount of Liabilities | ||||||||||||||||||||||||
| March 31 2026 | December 31 2025 | March 31 2026 | December 31 2025 | March 31 2026 | December 31 2025 | |||||||||||||||||||||
Contingent repurchase commitments | $ | $ | $ | $ | ||||||||||||||||||||||
| Credit guarantees | $ | $ | ||||||||||||||||||||||||
Contingent Repurchase Commitments In conjunction with signing a definitive agreement for the sale of commercial aircraft, we have entered into contingent repurchase commitments with certain customers wherein we agree to repurchase the sold aircraft at a specified price, generally 10 to 15 years after delivery. Our repurchase of the aircraft is contingent upon entering into a mutually acceptable agreement for the sale of additional new aircraft in the future. The commercial aircraft 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.
If a future sale agreement is reached and a customer elects to exercise its right under a contingent repurchase commitment, the contingent repurchase commitment becomes a trade-in commitment. Our historical experience is that contingent repurchase commitments infrequently become trade-in commitments.

Table of Contents
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. Current outstanding credit guarantees expire through 2036.
Other Indemnifications In conjunction with our sales of Electron Dynamic Devices, Inc. and Rocketdyne Propulsion and Power businesses, 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. 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 10.
Note 12 – Debt
In connection with our acquisition of Spirit, we assumed Spirit's debt, including the following notes issued by Spirit AeroSystems, Inc.: $300 of 3.850 % Senior Notes due 2026 (the Spirit 2026 Notes) and $700 of 4.600 % Senior Notes due 2028 (the Spirit 2028 Notes, and together with the Spirit 2026 Notes, the Spirit Senior Notes). The Boeing Company guaranteed the obligations of Spirit AeroSystems, Inc. with respect to the Spirit Senior Notes, and as a result, each of The Boeing Company and Spirit fully and unconditionally guarantee the Spirit Senior Notes on a senior unsecured basis. The guarantees rank equally in right of payment with all of Boeing’s existing and future senior unsecured indebtedness.

Note 14 – Share-Based Compensation and Other Compensation Arrangements
Restricted Stock Units
On February 17, 2026, we granted 1,922,574 restricted stock units (RSU) to our executives as part of our long-term incentive program. The RSUs granted under this program have a grant date fair value of $242.18 per unit and will generally vest in three approximately equal installments on the first, second, and third anniversaries of the grant date. These RSUs will settle in common stock (on a one -for-one basis). If an executive terminates employment because of retirement, layoff, disability, or death, the executive (or beneficiary) may receive some or all of their stock units depending on certain age and service conditions. In all other cases, the RSUs will not vest and all rights to the stock units will terminate.
Note 15 – Shareholders' Equity
Mandatory Convertible Preferred Stock
On October 31, 2024, we issued 115,000,000 depositary shares, representing 5,750,000 shares of our 6.00 % Series A Mandatory Convertible Preferred Stock (Mandatory convertible preferred stock). The Mandatory convertible preferred stock has a $1,000.00 per share liquidation preference and $1.00 per share par value. As a result of the transaction, we received cash proceeds of $5,651 , net of underwriting fees and other issuance costs.
Dividends are cumulative at an annual rate of 6.00 % on the liquidation preference of $1,000.00 per share of Mandatory convertible preferred stock and may be paid in cash, shares of our common stock or a combination of cash and shares of our common stock. Dividends that are declared will be payable on January 15, April 15, July 15 and October 15 to holders of record on the January 1, April 1, July 1, and October 1 immediately preceding the relevant dividend payment date. Dividends paid on Mandatory convertible preferred stock were $86 and $72 for the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025. In February 2026, dividends of $86 were declared to holders of record as of April 1, 2026, representing $15.00 per share, and were paid in cash on April 15, 2026.
The following table illustrates the conversion rate per share of Mandatory convertible preferred stock, subject to certain anti-dilution adjustments, based on the applicable market value of the common stock:
| Applicable Market Value of Common Stock | Conversion Rate per Share of Mandatory Convertible Preferred Stock | |||||||
Greater than $ | ||||||||
Equal to or less than $ | Between | |||||||
Less than $ | ||||||||
Unless earlier converted, each share of Mandatory convertible preferred stock will automatically convert on October 15, 2027, into between 5.8280 shares and 6.9940 shares of our common stock, depending on the applicable market value of the common stock and subject to certain anti-dilution adjustments described in the certificate of designations related to our Mandatory convertible preferred stock (Certificate of Designations). The applicable market value of our common stock will be determined based on the average volume-weighted average price per share of the common stock over the 20 consecutive trading day period beginning on, and including, the 21 st scheduled trading day immediately prior to October 15, 2027.
If a fundamental change, as defined in the Certificate of Designations, occurs on or prior to October 15, 2027, then holders of Mandatory convertible preferred stock will be entitled to convert all or any portion of their shares into shares of our common stock at the fundamental change conversion rate, as defined in the Certificate of Designations, for a specified period of time and also to receive an amount to compensate such holders for unpaid accumulated dividends and any remaining future scheduled dividend payments.

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 expected sales and purchases through 2032. We use commodity derivatives, such as fixed-price purchase commitments and swaps to hedge against potentially unfavorable price changes for commodities used in production. Our commodity contracts hedge forecasted transactions through 2029.
Derivative Instruments Not Receiving Hedge Accounting Treatment
We hold certain foreign currency forward contracts which do not qualify for hedge accounting treatment.

Based on our portfolio of cash flow hedges, we expect to reclassify gains of $8 (pre-tax) out of AOCI into earnings during the next 12 months.
We have derivative instruments with credit-risk-related contingent features. If we default on our five-year credit facilities, our derivative counterparties could require settlement for foreign exchange and certain commodity contracts with original maturities of at least five years . The fair value of those contracts in a net

liability position at March 31, 2026 was $4 . For other particular commodity contracts, our counterparties could require collateral posted in an amount determined by our credit ratings. At March 31, 2026, there was no collateral posted related to our derivatives.
Note 17 – Fair 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 and commodity 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.
Certain assets have been measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis. The following table presents the nonrecurring losses recognized for the three months ended March 31 due to long-lived asset impairment and the fair value of the related assets as of the impairment date:

| Total | $ | ($ | $ | ($ | |||||||||||||||||||
Level 3 Investments and Other assets were primarily valued using an income approach based on the discounted cash flows associated with the underlying assets. These approaches are considered estimates of net operating income, capitalization rates, and/or comparable property sales. Level 3
22
Table of Contents
operating lease equipment was valued 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 operating lease equipment that were measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis during the period ended March 31, 2026, the following table presents the fair value of those assets as of the measurement date, valuation techniques and related unobservable inputs of those assets.
| Fair Value | Valuation Technique | Unobservable Input | Range Median or Average | ||||||||||||||||||||
Operating lease equipment | $ | Market approach | Aircraft value publications | $ Median $ | |||||||||||||||||||
(1)The range represents the sum of the highest and lowest values for all aircraft subject to fair value measurement, according to the third-party aircraft valuation publications that we use in our valuation process.
Fair Value Disclosures

The fair value of Notes receivable classified as Level 2 is 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 Notes receivable classified as Level 3 is based on our best estimate using available counterparty financial data. 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. 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, Accounts receivable, Unbilled receivables, Other current assets, Accounts payable and long-term payables. The carrying values of those items, as
23
Table of Contents
reflected in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Financial Position, approximate their fair value at March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025. 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 18 – Legal Proceedings
We are subject, from time to time, to various legal proceedings and claims related to our business that cover a wide range of matters, including those related to products, contracts, labor and employment, securities, antitrust and trade regulations, intellectual property, and other matters. In addition, we are subject to various 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 U.S. or foreign governments for fines, penalties, compensatory and treble damages, restitution and/or forfeitures. Under U.S. government regulations, a company, or one or more of its operating divisions or subdivisions, can be suspended or debarred from government contracts, have certain of its production certificates suspended or revoked, or lose its export privileges, based on the results of investigations.
On May 29, 2025, Boeing and the U.S. Department of Justice (the Department) entered into a non-prosecution agreement (the Agreement) to resolve the Department’s determination that Boeing did not fulfill its obligations under the January 2021 deferred prosecution agreement relating to the October 2018 Lion Air flight 610 accident and the March 2019 Ethiopian Airlines flight 302 accident (the MAX accidents). The Agreement requires, among other things, Boeing to pay a fine of $244 and provide $445 of additional compensation for the family members of those who died in the MAX accidents. The $244 fine, which was accrued for and expensed in 2024, and the $445 compensation fund for family members, which was accrued for and expensed in the second quarter of 2025, are held in escrow accounts pending final court approval of the Department’s motion to dismiss the criminal information against Boeing (the Motion). On November 6, 2025, the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Texas (the Court) approved the Motion. On March 31, 2026, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit denied a petition by representatives of certain family members to overturn the Court's approval of the Motion. Those representatives have filed a further appeal.
Certain legal actions and investigations arising out of the MAX accidents and subsequent grounding of the 737 MAX are still pending, including fewer than five civil lawsuits by family members of those who died in the MAX accidents. In addition, securities lawsuits are pending, and we are appealing the March 16, 2026, partial grant of a motion for class certification by the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Illinois. Multiple investigations and legal actions, including securities lawsuits, were also initiated as a result of the January 2024 737-9 door plug accident.
Given the status of these legal actions and investigations, we cannot reasonably estimate a range of loss, if any, not covered by available insurance and in excess of any accrued amounts, that may result from these matters.
Note 19 – Segment and Revenue Information
We operate in three reportable segments: BCA, BDS, and BGS. All other activities fall within Unallocated items, eliminations and other. See page 6 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.
24
Table of Contents
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 products and 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.
The primary profitability measurement used by our chief operating decision maker to review segment operating results is Segment operating earnings. The following table reconciles segment Revenues to Segment operating earnings:
| BCA | BDS | BGS | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

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.

Earnings in Equity Method Investments
During the three months ended March 31, 2026, our share of income/(loss) from equity method investments was $0 compared to ($4 ) during the same period in 2025.
Backlog
Our total backlog includes contracts that we and our customers are committed to perform. The value in backlog represents the estimated transaction prices on performance obligations to our customers for which work remains to be performed. Backlog is converted into revenue, primarily based on the cost incurred or at delivery and acceptance of products, depending on the applicable revenue recognition model.
Our backlog at March 31, 2026 was $694,709 . We expect approximately 24 % to be converted to revenue through 2027 and approximately 65 % through 2030, with the remainder thereafter. There is significant uncertainty regarding the timing of when backlog will convert into revenue. We may experience reductions to backlog and/or significant order cancellations due to various factors including delivery delays, production disruptions and delays to entry into service of the 777X, 737-7 and/or 737-10.

Unallocated Items, Eliminations and Other
Unallocated items, eliminations and other include common internal services that support Boeing’s global business operations and eliminations of certain sales between segments. We generally allocate costs to business segments based on the U.S. Government Cost Accounting Standards (CAS). Components of Unallocated items, eliminations and other income/(expense) are shown in the following table.

Pension and Other Postretirement Benefit Expense
Pension costs are allocated to BDS and BGS businesses supporting government customers using 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 Financial Accounting Standards (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, net. Components of FAS/CAS service cost adjustment are shown in the following table:

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 March 31, 2026, the related condensed consolidated statements of operations, comprehensive income, equity, and cash flows for the three-month periods ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, 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, 2025, and the related consolidated statements of operations, comprehensive income, equity, and cash flows for the year then ended (not presented herein); and in our report dated January 30, 2026, we expressed an unqualified opinion on those consolidated financial statements. In our opinion, the information set forth in the accompanying condensed consolidated statement of financial position as of December 31, 2025, 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.

Earnings from operations for the three months ended March 31, 2026, decreased by $13 million compared with the same period in 2025, primarily driven by unfavorable changes in the FAS/CAS service cost adjustment ($107 million) and higher loss from operations at BCA ($26 million), partially offset by higher earnings from operations at BDS ($78 million) and Global Services (BGS) ($28 million).
Core operating earnings for the three months ended March 31, 2026, increased by $94 million compared with the same period in 2025, primarily due to higher Segment operating earnings and changes in the FAS/CAS service cost adjustment as described above.

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 aircraft 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

Cost of sales for the three months ended March 31, 2026, increased by $2,592 million, or 15%, compared with the same period in 2025, primarily due to higher revenues at BCA and BDS. Cost of sales as a percentage of Revenues increased during the three months ended March 31, 2026, compared with the same period in 2025 primarily due to lower margins at BGS.

Contractual backlog of unfilled orders excludes purchase options, announced orders for which definitive contracts have not been executed, orders where customers have the unilateral right to terminate, and unobligated U.S. and non-U.S. government contract funding. The increase in contractual backlog of $12,950 million during the three months ended March 31, 2026, was primarily due to a $8,293 million increase in BCA backlog and $2,856 million increase in BGS contractual backlog. We may experience reductions to backlog and/or significant order cancellations due to various factors including delivery delays, production disruptions and delays to entry into service of the 777X, 737-7 and/or 737-10.

Table of Contents
Unobligated backlog includes U.S. and non-U.S. government definitive contracts for which funding has not been authorized. The decrease of $448 million in unobligated backlog during the three months ended March 31, 2026 was due to a decrease in BDS unobligated backlog partially offset by an increase in BGS unobligated backlog.
Additional Considerations
U.S. Government Funding Considerable uncertainty exists regarding how future U.S. government budget and program decisions will unfold, including the spending priorities of the Administration and Congress. As of March 31, 2026, the majority of government departments and agencies, including the Department of War (DoW), the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA), and the Department of Transportation are funded through September 30, 2026.
Global Trade The global trade landscape continues to be highly volatile. Various countries have announced plans for and/or have implemented new or modified tariffs or have eliminated tariffs previously imposed.
Following the February 20, 2026, Supreme Court ruling regarding the imposition of tariffs under the International Emergency Economic Powers Act (IEEPA), U.S. Customs and Border Protection is developing refund procedures for tariffs previously paid under IEEPA. Concurrently, the Administration imposed a temporary 10% general tariff under Section 122 of the Trade Act of 1974 subject to several exemptions, including the import into the United States of certain aerospace products. These developments did not have a material impact on our financial position, results of operations and cash flows during the first quarter of 2026.
The current state of U.S.-China trade relations remain an ongoing watch item. China is a significant market for commercial aircraft, and we have long-standing relationships with our Chinese customers. Overall, the U.S.-China trade relationship is challenged due to tariffs, sanctions, and export restrictions, as well as other economic and national security concerns.
We seek to comply with all U.S. and other government import requirements, export control requirements and sanctions. We continually monitor the global trade environment for new and/or changing tariffs, retaliatory actions, trade agreements, export restrictions, sanctions or other restrictions that may impact us or our supply chain or customers, and work to mitigate impacts to our business.
Supply Chain We and our suppliers are experiencing inflationary pressures, as well as supply chain disruptions as a result of global supply chain constraints and labor instability. Our supply chain is also being impacted by the tariffs and export restrictions discussed above. Certain of our suppliers are also experiencing financial difficulties. We continue to monitor the health and stability of the supply chain. These factors have reduced overall productivity and adversely impacted our financial position, results of operations and cash flows. During 2024, we recorded a reach-forward loss of $1,770 million on the T-7A Red Hawk program that was primarily driven by projected increases in supplier cost estimates. In addition, we recorded losses on the KC-46A Tanker and Commercial Crew programs during 2024 that were partially attributable to higher supplier costs. We recorded a reach-forward loss on the 777X program during 2025 that was partially attributable to higher estimated supplier costs.
Human Capital Some of our and our suppliers' workforces are represented by labor unions. Work stoppages and instability in our and our suppliers' union relationships have in the past and could in the future disrupt and/or delay the production, delivery and/or development of our products, which could strain relationships with customers and result in lower revenues, earnings and cash flows. If we are unable to successfully negotiate successor agreements with our unions that our employees will ratify (including with Society of Professional Engineering Employees in Aerospace who have two contacts expiring October 2026), we may experience additional work stoppages in the future, which could materially adversely affect our business, financial position, results of operations and cash flows.

Loss From Operations
BCA loss from operations was $563 million for the three months ended March 31, 2026, compared with $537 million in the same period in 2025 primarily reflecting higher spending on research and development, partially offset by higher deliveries.
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 probable. Backlog excludes options and customer financing orders as well as orders where customers have the unilateral right to terminate. A number of our customers may have contractual remedies, including rights to reject individual airplane deliveries if the actual delivery date is significantly later than the contractual delivery date. 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 Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) 606.
BCA total backlog increased from $567,290 million as of December 31, 2025, to $575,583 million at March 31, 2026, reflecting new orders in excess of deliveries. Aircraft order cancellations during the three months ended March 31, 2026, totaled $933 million and primarily relate to 737 and 787 aircraft. Net ASC 606 adjustments during the three months ended March 31, 2026, totaled $505 million and primarily relate to 777X and 737 aircraft. ASC 606 adjustments include consideration of aircraft orders where a customer-controlled contingency may exist, as well as an assessment of whether the customer is committed to

perform, impacts of geopolitical events or related sanctions, or whether it is probable that the customer will pay the full amount of consideration when it is due. We may experience reductions to backlog and/or significant order cancellations due to various factors including delivery delays, production disruptions and delays to entry into service of the 777X, 737-7 and/or 737-10.

Program Highlights
737 Program During the first quarter of 2026, the 737 program continued to produce at a rate of 42 per month. The program plans to increase the production rate from 42 to 47 in 2026 with the concurrence of the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA). We are also planning for additional production rate increases beyond 47 per month as well as adding a fourth 737 production line. We expect to begin low-rate production on the new 737 production line later in 2026. The new production line will have to be production-certified by the FAA prior to first delivery.
We continue to expect certification of the 737-7 and 737-10 in 2026, including the final certification of the engine anti-ice solution. As of March 31, 2026, we had approximately 35 737-7 and 737-10 aircraft in inventory. We are following the lead of the FAA as we work through the certification process and the ultimate timing will be determined by the regulators.
If we are unable to deliver aircraft and/or increase production rates or certify the 737-7 and 737-10 models consistent with our assumptions, our financial position, results of operations and cash flows will be adversely affected.
See further discussion of the 737 MAX in Note 6 and Note 10 to our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.
767 Program The 767 assembly line includes the commercial program and a derivative to support the KC-46A Tanker program. We are targeting a production rate of approximately three aircraft per month. We expect to complete production of the 767 commercial program by 2027. This program has break-even gross margins.
38
Table of Contents
See further discussion of the KC-46A Tanker program in Note 10 to our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.
777 and 777X Programs The accounting quantity for the 777 program extends through year-end 2027 and reflects the number of units we expect to produce and deliver by 2027.
In July 2024, we obtained approval from the FAA to begin certification flight testing which is ongoing. We continue to work with our supplier and the FAA on the solution and certification plan related to the engine durability issue identified in 2025. In the first quarter of 2026, we received approval from the FAA to begin the Type Inspection Authorization 4a phase of flight testing.
We continue to expect first delivery of the 777-9 to occur in 2027. We continue to anticipate first delivery of the 777-8 Freighter to occur approximately two years after the first delivery of the 777-9. First delivery of the 777-8 passenger aircraft is not expected to occur before 2030. We are continuing to follow the lead of the FAA as we work through the certification process and the ultimate timing will be determined by the regulators.
The level of profitability on the 777X program will be subject to several factors. These factors include aircraft certification requirements and timing, resolution of the engine durability issue, flight test discoveries, design changes, change incorporation on completed aircraft, supply chain shortages, production disruption due to labor instability and supply chain disruption, customer considerations, delivery timing and negotiations, further production rate adjustments for the 777X or other commercial aircraft programs, and any change in the accounting quantity. One or more of these factors could result in additional reach-forward losses in future periods.
787 Program We increased the accounting quantity by 100 units during the three months ended March 31, 2026, due to the program's normal progress of obtaining additional orders and delivering airplanes. During the first quarter of 2026, we continued to work toward stabilizing the production rate at eight per month. We are experiencing factory disruption as a result of supply chain shortages which has impacted production and we are working with our supply chain to enable recovery.
Additional Considerations
On December 8, 2025, we completed the acquisition of Spirit AeroSystems Holdings, Inc. (Spirit). See Note 2 to our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.
Defense, Space & Security
Overview
On February 3, 2026, H.R. 7148, the Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2026, provided $839 billion in fiscal year 2026 (FY26) funding for the DoW, excluding military construction. The President’s Budget request for fiscal year 2027 (FY27) requests $1,450 billion for the DoW. The FY27 budget request for NASA is $19 billion, a $6 billion decrease from the NASA funding appropriated for FY26.
There is ongoing uncertainty with respect to final program-level spending for the DoW, NASA and other government agencies for FY26 and beyond. Future budget cuts or investment priority changes, including changes associated with the authorizations and appropriations process, could result in reductions, cancellations and/or delays of existing contracts or programs. Any of these impacts could have a material effect on our financial position, results of operations and/or cash flows.
The non-U.S. market continues to be driven by complex and evolving security challenges and the need to modernize aging equipment and inventories. BDS expects that it will continue to have a wide range of opportunities across Asia, Europe and the Middle East given the diverse regional threats. At March 31, 2026, 27% of BDS backlog was attributable to non-U.S. customers.

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.

Revenues
BDS revenues for the three months ended March 31, 2026, increased by $1,301 million compared with the same period in 2025. The increase was primarily due to increased revenues on proprietary and weapons programs, higher KC-46 production and Foreign Military Sales to Israel and Japan, and the acquisition of Spirit's defense business. Revenue was further increased by $123 million lower net unfavorable cumulative contract catch-up adjustments compared to the prior year comparable period.
Earnings From Operations
BDS earnings from operations for the three months ended March 31, 2026, was $233 million, compared with earnings from operations of $155 million in the same period in 2025. The $78 million improvement in earnings is primarily due to lower net unfavorable cumulative catch-up adjustments of $80 million compared to the prior year comparable period.
BDS earnings from operations includes our share of losses from equity method investments of $4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2026, compared with earnings of $6 million for the same period in 2025.

Table of Contents
Backlog
BDS backlog was $85,821 million at March 31, 2026 compared with $84,786 million as of December 31, 2025. The increase reflects the timing of awards, partially offset by revenue recognized on contracts awarded in prior periods.
Additional Considerations
Our BDS business includes a variety of development programs which have complex design and technical challenges. Some of these programs have cost-type contracting arrangements. In these cases, the associated financial risks are primarily reduced award or incentive 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. Examples of significant fixed-price development programs include Commercial Crew, KC-46A Tanker, MQ-25, T-7A Red Hawk, VC-25B, and commercial and military satellites. A number of our ongoing fixed-price development programs have reach-forward losses. New programs could also have risk for reach-forward loss upon contract award and during the period of contract performance. 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 or other financially significant exposure. Risk remains that we may be required to record additional reach-forward losses in future periods.

Operating Activities Net cash used by operating activities was $0.2 billion during the three months ended March 31, 2026, compared with $1.6 billion during the same period in 2025. The $1.4 billion decrease in net cash used by operating activities was primarily driven by favorable changes in working capital.
Changes in assets and liabilities during the three months ended March 31, 2026, improved by $1.3 billion compared with the same period in 2025, primarily driven by favorable changes in Advances and progress billings ($2.4 billion) and Accounts payable ($1.2 billion), partially offset by unfavorable changes in Inventories ($1.1 billion) and Accrued liabilities ($0.9 billion). The change in Advances and progress billings during the three months ended March 31, 2026, compared to the same period in 2025 was primarily driven by higher advances on commercial airplane orders. The favorable change in Accounts payable and unfavorable change in Inventories during the three months ended March 31, 2026, compared to the same period in 2025 primarily reflect increased production primarily in our commercial airplanes business. Unfavorable changes in Accrued liabilities during the three months ended March 31, 2026 were $1.3 billion compared to $0.4 billion during the same period in 2025.
Payables to suppliers who elected to participate in supply chain financing programs decreased by $0.2 billion and $0.6 billion during the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025. Supply chain financing is not material to our overall liquidity.
Investing Activities Net cash provided by investing activities during the three months ended March 31, 2026, was $5.7 billion, compared with net cash used of $1.7 billion during the same period in 2025. The increase in cash provided was primarily due to net proceeds from investments of $7.0 billion in 2026 compared with net contributions to investments of $1.0 billion in 2025. During the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, capital expenditures were $1.3 billion and $0.7 billion. We continue to expect capital expenditures in 2026 to be higher than in 2025.
Financing Activities Net cash used by financing activities was $7.0 billion during the three months ended March 31, 2026, compared with net cash used of $0.3 billion during the same period in 2025.

The 364-day credit facility has a one-year term out option which allows us to extend the maturity of any borrowings until August 2027. We anticipate that these credit lines will primarily serve as back-up liquidity to support our general corporate borrowing needs. We continue to be in compliance with all covenants contained in our debt and credit facility agreements.
We currently maintain investment grade credit ratings across all three credit rating agencies. At Fitch and S&P, we are rated BBB- with a stable outlook, and at Moody’s, we are rated Baa3 with a stable outlook.
We may, from time to time, purchase, redeem or retire any of our outstanding debt securities in open market or privately negotiated transactions, by tender offer or otherwise, after consideration of market conditions, our liquidity needs and other factors.
We expect to be able to access capital markets when we require additional funding to support our operations, pay off existing debt, address impacts to our business related to market developments, fund outstanding financing commitments or meet other business requirements; however, a number of factors could increase the cost of borrowing, jeopardize our ability to incur debt on terms acceptable to us, and negatively impact our access to the capital and financial markets and our ability to fund our operations and commitments. These factors include downgrades in our credit ratings, disruptions or declines in the global capital markets, a decline in our financial performance or outlook, a delay in our ability to ramp up production and deliveries, and changes in demand for our products and services. The occurrence of any or all of these events may adversely affect our ability to fund our operations and financing or contractual commitments. See “Risks Related to Financing and Liquidity” under “Item 1A. Risk Factors” of our 2025 Annual Report on Form 10-K.
Any future borrowings may affect our credit ratings and are subject to various debt covenants. 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 in the credit agreements). When considering debt covenants, we continue to have substantial borrowing capacity.

Non-GAAP Measures
Core Operating Earnings/(Loss), Core Operating Margins and Core Earnings/(Loss) 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/(loss), Core operating margins and Core earnings/(loss) per share exclude 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 earnings/(loss) per share excludes both the FAS/CAS service cost adjustment and non-operating pension and postretirement income. Non-operating pension and postretirement income represents 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 adjustments recognized in Earnings from operations were benefits of $93 million and $193 million for the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025. The lower benefits in 2026 were primarily due to reductions in allocated pension cost year over year. The non-operating pension (expense)/income included in Other income, net was ($74) million and $43 million for the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025. The higher expense in 2026 was primarily due to lower expected return on plan assets and higher amortization of net actuarial losses, partially offset by lower interest costs. For further discussion of pension and other postretirement costs see "Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations" on pages 28 and 29 of our 2025 Annual Report on Form 10-K.
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 earnings measures provide investors additional insights into operational performance as unallocated pension and other postretirement benefit costs primarily represent costs driven by market factors and costs not allocable to U.S. government contracts.
