Company Guidance

The company reported a revenue of $17.8 billion, which was down 1% year-over-year, and a core loss per share of $10.44 due to the IAM work stoppage and charges on certain programs. Free cash flow was a negative $2 billion, influenced by lower commercial widebody deliveries and unfavorable working capital timing.

Boeing Defense & Space recorded $5.5 billion in revenue and a backlog of $62 billion. The executives also discussed plans to stabilize the business by resolving the IAM strike, improving execution discipline, and ensuring a robust supply chain to support a production ramp-up. Additionally, Boeing is focused on maintaining a $10 billion cash reserve and prioritizing its investment-grade credit rating while managing debt maturities and considering potential equity offerings to strengthen the balance sheet.
