Disclosures."
The Boeing Company [NYSE: BA] reported first-quarter revenue increased 2
percent to $22.6 billion (Table 1). Core earnings per share (Non-GAAP)* of
$1.74 reflect solid core operating performance that offset a $156 million
after-tax charge ($0.24 per share) on the KC-46 Tanker program to maintain
schedule with concurrency between late-stage development testing and the
transition to initial production. GAAP earnings per share was $1.83.
The company's full year guidance is reaffirmed, primarily driven by improved
performance.
"Higher year-over-year deliveries of military aircraft and continued solid
operating performance on core production programs drove revenue growth and
strong cash flow for Boeing in the first quarter," said Chairman, President and
Chief Executive Officer Dennis Muilenburg. "This performance enabled our
ongoing investments in new product innovation and in our people, and the return
of significant cash to shareholders through stock repurchases and dividends."
"Overall, we are pleased with our performance trends and our outlook for the
year remains positive. On the tanker program, we are making the investments
necessary to meet our customer commitments, deliver the initial production
aircraft on schedule, and transition the program into full production," said
Muilenburg.
"Our teams are focused intensely on delivering on our existing commitments
including the production ramp-up associated with our large and diverse backlog,
accelerating progress on quality, safety and productivity improvements company
wide, returning greater value to shareholders through profitable growth, and
investing in the future as we enter our second century in business."

Operating cash flow in the quarter was $1.2 billion, reflecting commercial
airplane production rates, solid core operating performance and the timing of
receipts and expenditures (Table 2). During the quarter, the company
repurchased 28.6 million shares for $3.5 billion, leaving $10.5 billion
remaining under the current repurchase authorization which is expected to be
completed over approximately the next two years. The company also paid $0.7
billion in dividends, reflecting an approximately 20 percent increase in
dividends per share compared to the same period of the prior year.

repurchases and the timing of cash flows. Debt was $10.0 billion, unchanged
from the beginning of the quarter (Table 3).
Total company backlog at quarter-end was $480 billion, down from $489 billion
at the beginning of the quarter, and included net orders for the quarter of $13
billion.

Earnings from Operations $1,033 $1,617 (36)%
Operating Margin 7.2% 10.5% (3.3) Pts
Commercial Airplanes first-quarter revenue decreased to $14.4 billion on lower
delivery volume (Table 4). First-quarter operating margin was 7.2 percent,
reflecting the $162 million pre-tax charge on the KC-46 Tanker program, higher
R&D, mix and a $70 million pre-tax charge on the 747 program.
During the quarter, the company completed first flight of the 737 MAX. The 737
program has captured nearly 3,100 orders for the 737 MAX since launch. Also
during the quarter, the company began major assembly of the 787-10 ahead of
schedule and launched the Next-Generation 737 freighter conversion program.
Commercial Airplanes booked 121 net orders during the quarter. Backlog remains
strong with over 5,700 airplanes valued at $424 billion.

1 During the first quarter of 2016, certain programs were
realigned between Boeing Military Aircraft and Global Services
& Support.
Defense, Space & Security's first-quarter revenue was $8.0 billion. First
quarter operating margin was 10.3 percent, reflecting the $81 million pre-tax
charge recorded at BMA on the KC-46 Tanker program partially offset by strong
performance on production programs (Table 5).
Boeing Military Aircraft (BMA) first-quarter revenue increased to $3.7 billion,
reflecting higher F-15 and C-17 deliveries. Operating margin was 9.1 percent,
reflecting the KC-46 Tanker program charge partially offset by delivery mix.
All four planned KC-46 test aircraft are now flying, and during the first
quarter the KC-46 demonstrated its refueling capabilities with multiple other
aircraft types. Also during the quarter, BMA was awarded a contract from the
U.S. Navy for 20 P-8A Poseidon aircraft and a contract from the U.S. Army for
117 Apache helicopters.
Network & Space Systems (N&SS) first-quarter revenue was $1.7 billion.
Operating margin was 8.5 percent, reflecting timing on United Launch Alliance
launches. During the quarter, N&SS successfully launched the first of six
Boeing-built Intelsat Epic satellites.
Global Services & Support (GS&S) first-quarter revenue increased to $2.6
billion, reflecting higher volume in Aircraft Modernization & Sustainment and
Training Systems. Operating margin was 13.3 percent, reflecting program mix.
During the quarter, GS&S was awarded a NATO contract for C-17 training.
Backlog at Defense, Space & Security was $56 billion, of which 37 percent
represents orders from international customers.

At quarter-end, Boeing Capital's net portfolio balance was $3.2 billion, down
from the beginning of the quarter. Unallocated items and eliminations first
quarter revenue reflects the payoff of two aircraft previously financed by
Boeing Capital. Total pension expense for the first quarter was $629 million,
down from $785 million in the same period of the prior year. Other unallocated
items and eliminations decreased from the same period in the prior year
primarily due to lower deferred compensation expense.

* Non-GAAP measures. Complete definitions of Boeing's
non-GAAP measures are on page 6, "Non-GAAP Measures
Disclosures."
Non-GAAP Measures Disclosures
We supplement the reporting of our financial information determined under U.S.
generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) with certain non-GAAP financial
information. The non-GAAP financial information presented excludes certain
significant items that may not be indicative of, or are unrelated to, results
from our ongoing business operations. We believe that these non-GAAP measures
provide investors with additional insight into the company's ongoing business
performance. These non-GAAP measures should not be considered in isolation or
as a substitute for the related GAAP measures, and other companies may define
such measures differently. We encourage investors to review our financial
statements and publicly-filed reports in their entirety and not to rely on any
single financial measure. The following definitions are provided:
Core Operating Earnings, Core Operating Margin and Core Earnings Per Share
Core operating earnings is defined as GAAP earnings from operations excluding
unallocated pension and post-retirement expense. Core operating margin is
defined as core operating earnings expressed as a percentage of revenue. Core
earnings per share is defined as GAAP diluted earnings per share excluding the
net earnings per share impact of unallocated pension and post-retirement
expense. Unallocated pension and post-retirement expense represents the portion
of pension and other post-retirement costs that are not recognized by business
segments for segment reporting purposes. Management uses core operating
earnings, core operating margin and core earnings 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 they exclude unallocated pension and post-retirement
costs, which primarily represent costs driven by market factors and costs not
allocable to government contracts. A reconciliation between the GAAP and
non-GAAP measures is provided on page 13.
Free Cash Flow
Free cash flow is defined as GAAP operating cash flow without capital
expenditures for property, plant and equipment additions. Management believes
free cash flow provides investors with an important perspective on the cash
available for shareholders, debt repayment, and acquisitions after making the
capital investments required to support ongoing business operations and long
term value creation. Free cash flow does not represent the residual cash flow
available for discretionary expenditures as it excludes certain mandatory
expenditures such as repayment of maturing debt. Management uses free cash flow
as a measure to assess both business performance and overall liquidity. Table 2
provides a reconciliation between GAAP operating cash flow and free cash flow.

government contracts; (6) our reliance on fixed-price contracts; (7) our
reliance on cost-type contracts; (8) uncertainties concerning contracts that
include in-orbit incentive payments; (9) our dependence on our subcontractors
and suppliers, as well as the availability of raw materials, (10) changes in
accounting estimates; (11) changes in the competitive landscape in our markets;
(12) our non-U.S. operations, including sales to non-U.S. customers; (13)

investigations; (14) customer and aircraft concentration in Boeing Capital's
customer financing portfolio; (15) changes in our ability to obtain debt on
commercially reasonable terms and at competitive rates in order to fund our
operations and contractual commitments; (16) realizing the anticipated benefits
of mergers, acquisitions, joint ventures/strategic alliances or divestitures;

exposures; (18) potential business disruptions, including those related to
physical security threats, information technology or cyber-attacks, epidemics,
sanctions or natural disasters; (19) work stoppages or other labor disruptions;
(20) significant changes in discount rates and actual investment return on
