    CHICAGO, Jan. 31  -- The Boeing Company (NYSE: BA) fourth quarter net 
earnings more than doubled to $989 million, or $1.29 per share, from $460 
million, or $0.58 per share, a year ago (Table 1).  Adjusted earnings per 
share*, removing effects of tax benefits and discontinued businesses, rose 57 
percent to $1.16 per share.   
    Boeing boosted its 2007 earnings per share guidance to between $4.55 and 
$4.75, and set its 2008 guidance at between $5.55 and $5.75, reflecting 
expected strong revenue growth and expanding margins across its businesses.  
The company's 2007 R&D forecast is unchanged and R&D spending is expected to 
decline in 2008. 
    "2006 was a very good year for Boeing.  We achieved new records in 
revenue, cash flow and backlog, and overcame some meaningful challenges by 
focusing on improving productivity and meeting our commitments," said Boeing 
Chairman, President and Chief Executive Jim McNerney.  "This focus on 
performance gives us the confidence to set high expectations for 2007 and 
2008."  
    Boeing's fourth-quarter revenue rose 26 percent to $17.5 billion on 
double-digit growth in its Commercial Airplanes and Integrated Defense Systems 
businesses.  The 57 percent increase in fourth-quarter adjusted EPS* was due 
to strong business performance, partially offset by an additional charge on 
the Airborne Early Warning & Control (AEW&C) program.  Operating cash flow for 
the quarter was $2.4 billion driven by strong earnings growth and a large 
volume of commercial airplane orders (Table 2).   
    For 2006, the company's reported earnings totaled $2.85 per share, down 
from $3.20, while revenue rose 15 percent to $61.5 billion.  Adjusted EPS* for 
the year grew 51 percent to $3.62 per share.  Record operating cash flow of 
$7.5 billion provided outstanding liquidity to the company, while free cash 
flow* increased to $5.8 billion.

         2006. 
 
 
    Reflecting a second consecutive year of record commercial airplane orders, 
Boeing's backlog at year-end also reached a record level.  The backlog rose to 
$250 billion, up 22 percent for the year.   
    Cash and investments in marketable securities totaled $9.3 billion at year 
end, up from $8.2 billion at the end of the third quarter (Table 3).  
Principal uses of cash during the quarter included $444 million for share 
repurchases, retirement of $583 million of maturing debt, and planned 
investment increases in Boeing's core businesses.   
    The company spent $2.0 billion repurchasing 25.0 million shares during the 
year.  This leaves $2.4 billion remaining available under the current 
repurchase authorization.  During 2006, the company also contributed  
$526 million to its pension plans and retired approximately $1 billion of 
maturing debt.  
    In December, Boeing's board of directors increased the quarterly dividend 
by 17 percent to $0.35 per share, or $1.40 annually, based on the company's 
strong operating performance and outlook, excellent cash generation and 
commitment to delivering value to shareholders.

    Segment Results 
 
    Commercial Airplanes 
    Boeing Commercial Airplanes (BCA) fourth-quarter revenues increased  
37 percent to $7.6 billion driven by a 41 percent increase in airplane 
deliveries and higher services revenue (Table 4).  BCA operating earnings 
doubled to $665 million.  Margins expanded to 8.7 percent due to higher 
operating leverage and productivity improvements, partially offset by planned 
R&D spending increases and the absence of supplier development cost-sharing 
payments. 
    For the year, BCA deliveries rose 37 percent to 398 airplanes and revenue 
rose 33 percent to $28.5 billion.  Operating earnings grew 91 percent to  
$2.7 billion as margins reached 9.6 percent.

    Contractual backlog rose to a record $174 billion, increasing 40 percent 
during the year to more than six times current annual BCA revenues.  BCA 
booked 320 gross orders during the quarter and a record 1,050 during the year.  
Net orders for 2006 were a record 1,044 airplanes.  For the second consecutive 
year, the 737 program achieved a record tally, bringing in 729 net orders.  
Boeing twin-aisle airplanes had another strong order year, with the 747 
program achieving its highest order total since 1990. 
    The 787 Dreamliner program has won 452 firm orders from 36 customers since 
program launch in 2004.  Important milestones were achieved during the fourth 
quarter, including validation of the manufacturing plan which culminated in a 
"virtual rollout" in December.  The program continues to address pressures 
with respect to weight and supplier implementation.  Flight testing of the 
Dreamliner begins this year, with entry into service scheduled for May 2008.  
Boeing continues to expect the 787 will be delivered on time and in accord 
with its contractual obligations.   
 
    Integrated Defense Systems 

    Boeing Integrated Defense Systems (IDS) revenues increased 18 percent 
during the quarter to a record $9.7 billion on higher volume across all 
segments (Table 5).  Operating margins were 10.6 percent, driven by strong 
execution and productivity improvements, offset by revised cost estimates on 
the AEW&C program totaling $274 million which reduced fourth-quarter IDS 
operating margins by 2.8 points.  
    IDS revenues grew 4 percent in 2006 to a record $32.4 billion driven by 
growth in Precision Engagement & Mobility Systems and Support Systems.  
Operating margins were 9.3 percent due to strong performance across IDS's 
balanced portfolio of programs, after a 2.4 point reduction for AEW&C.  In 
2005, IDS operating margins were 12.6 percent, including a 1.9 point benefit 
from gains on divestitures.

    (1) Reflects reductions of 2.8 points in the quarter and 2.4 points for 
        the full year due to increased costs on AEW&C. 
 
 
    Precision Engagement & Mobility Systems revenue grew 15 percent to  
$4.3 billion for the quarter on higher deliveries and volume on the F-15 and 
Chinook programs.  Overall program performance was strong, yet operating 
margins were 6.9 percent for the quarter due to the charge mentioned above, 
which reduced PE&MS operating margins by 6.3 points.   
    Network & Space Systems achieved significant milestones on several key 
development programs including Future Combat Systems (FCS), Family of Beyond-
line-of-sight Terminals (FAB-T), Ground-based Midcourse Defense (GMD), 
Airborne Laser and proprietary programs.  The company also completed the 
United Launch Alliance joint venture during the quarter.  Fourth-quarter 
revenues increased 19 percent to $3.4 billion driven in part by a new Delta IV 
launch capability services contract.  Operating margins increased to  
13.7 percent in the quarter driven by strong earnings on FCS and Delta IV, 
further boosted by a post-closing adjustment on the divestiture of Electron 
Dynamic Devices, Inc. 
    Support Systems again generated strong profits on its broad portfolio of 
services and logistics programs.  Revenues for the quarter increased  
22 percent to $1.9 billion while operating earnings increased 16 percent to 
$262 million resulting in 13.5 percent operating margins.  Results were driven 
by higher volume on integrated logistics programs; international support 
programs; and maintenance, modification and upgrade programs such as AC-130 
and KC-10.   
    IDS' backlog at quarter-end increased to $75.7 billion.  For the year, 
backlog declined 6 percent as progress continued on large multi-year 
contracts.  Contractual backlog grew 16 percent during the year to  
$42.3 billion while unobligated backlog declined to $33.4 billion.   
 
    Boeing Capital Corporation 
    Boeing Capital Corporation (BCC) continued to deliver strong financial 
performance while reducing portfolio risk (Table 6).  For the quarter, BCC 
delivered pre-tax earnings of $37 million driven by continued strong financing 
portfolio performance and aircraft finance restructurings.  BCC's portfolio 
balance at the end of the fourth quarter was $8.0 billion, down from  
$8.2 billion at the end of the third quarter and $9.2 billion in the fourth 
quarter of 2005 on normal portfolio run-off, asset sales and depreciation.  
Despite the smaller portfolio size, revenues for the fourth quarter increased 
slightly to $241 million due to aircraft finance restructurings.  For the 
year, BCC revenues grew 6 percent to $1.0 billion, and pre-tax income 
increased 25 percent to a record $291 million. 
    BCC contributed $60 million in cash dividends to the company during the 
quarter and $344 million in cash for the year.  BCC recorded leverage of  
5.0-to-1, as measured by the ratio of debt-to-equity.

    Additional Information 
    The "Other" segment consists primarily of Boeing Engineering, Operations 
and Technology and the Connexion business, as well as certain results related 
to the consolidation of all business units.  As previously disclosed, the 
company decided to exit its Connexion business which resulted in a pre-tax 
charge of $40 million in the quarter, or $0.03 per share.  Other segment 
losses from operations grew to $93 million in the fourth quarter, up from  
$73 million in the same period last year. 
    Pre-tax (non-cash) pension expense for the quarter was $221 million, down 
from $451 million in the same period of 2005 which included pension settlement 
and curtailment expenses related to the sale of our Rocketdyne operations.  
Unallocated share-based-plans expense was $140 million, down 23 percent from 
the same period of 2005 due to changes in the company's long-term compensation 
plans implemented at the beginning of 2006. 
    Boeing's pension plans are 101 percent funded on a projected benefit 
obligation basis, and cash contribution requirements for the pension plans are 
expected to be modest over the next few years.  As previously disclosed, 
shareholders' equity was reduced by approximately $6.5 billion at the end of 
the year to reflect implementation of new accounting rules for pensions and 
other post-retirement benefits (SFAS 158).   
 
    Outlook  
    The company expects continued growth in 2007 and 2008 that reflects strong 
performance from its core businesses, higher commercial airplane deliveries, 
leveling R&D, and companywide productivity gains (Table 7). 
    Boeing's revenue guidance for 2007 is now between $64.5 billion and  
$65 billion, reflecting completion of the United Launch Alliance transaction.  
For 2008, the company expects revenues between $71 and $72 billion.  The 2007 
earnings per share guidance is being raised to between $4.55 and $4.75 per 
share.  EPS guidance for 2008 is set at between $5.55 and $5.75 per share.  
Operating cash flow for 2007 is now expected to be greater than $4 billion, as 
portions of cash flow previously expected in 2007 accelerated into the  
$7.5 billion achieved in 2006.  Cash flow for 2008 is expected to again exceed 
$7 billion.  
    Commercial Airplanes' 2007 delivery guidance remains 440 to 445 airplanes 
and is completely sold out.  Revenue guidance for 2007 remains between  
$32.5 and $33 billion, and operating margin guidance remains at greater than 
10 percent.  Airplane deliveries in 2008 are expected to rise to between  
515 and 520 airplanes and are essentially sold out.  Commercial Airplanes' 
revenue in 2008 is expected to grow to between $39 billion and $40 billion 
accompanied by margin expansion to approximately 11 percent.  The company 
expects airplane deliveries in 2009 to be higher than in 2008. 
    IDS revenue guidance for 2007 is approximately $31 billion, and now 
excludes approximately $1 billion of launch business revenue due to the change 
to equity method accounting following completion of the ULA joint venture.  
Operating margins are expected to expand to approximately 11 percent in 2007.  
For 2008, IDS expects revenue to grow to between $32 billion and $33 billion, 
with operating margins of approximately 11 percent. 
    Boeing's research and development forecast for 2007 is unchanged at 
between $3.2 billion and $3.4 billion.  Research and development spending is 
expected to decline in 2008 to between $2.8 billion and $3.0 billion.  Annual 
capital expenditures are expected to be approximately $1.6 billion in 2007 and 
in 2008. 
    The company's non-cash pension expense is expected to be approximately 
$1.1 billion for 2007 and approximately $0.9 billion for 2008.  The company 
expects pension expense to continue to decline after the guidance period with 
2009 pension expense likely to be approximately half of the 2008 level.  
Discretionary cash funding of Boeing's pension plans is expected to be 
approximately $500 million in each of 2007 and 2008, though the company will 
continue to evaluate making additional discretionary contributions to its 
pension plans.

    Non-GAAP Measure Disclosure 
    Management believes that the non-GAAP (Generally Accepted Accounting 
Principles) measures (indicated by an asterisk *) used in this report provide 
investors with important perspectives into the company's ongoing business 
performance.  The company does not intend for the information to be considered 
in isolation or as a substitute for the related GAAP measure.  Other companies 
may define the measure differently.  The following definitions are provided: 
 
    Free Cash Flow 
    Free cash flow is defined as GAAP operating cash flow less 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 internally to assess both business performance and overall 
liquidity.  Table 2 provides a reconciliation between GAAP operating cash flow 
and free cash flow. 
 
    Adjusted Earnings per Share  
    Adjusted earnings per share is defined as GAAP diluted earnings per share 
adjusted for certain significant charges or credits.  Management believes 
adjusted earnings per share are important to understanding the company's on-
going operations and provide additional insights into underlying business 
performance.  Significant charges or credits are described in the attachments 
to this release which provide reconciliations between GAAP earnings per share 
and adjusted earnings per share. 
 
        Forward-Looking Information Is Subject to Risk and Uncertainty 
                                        
    Certain statements in this report may constitute "forward-looking" 
statements within the meaning of the Private Litigation Reform Act of 1995.  
Words such as "expects," "intends," "plans," "projects," "believes," 
"estimates," and similar expressions are used to identify these forward-
looking statements.  These statements are not guarantees of future performance 
and involve risks, uncertainties and assumptions that are difficult to 
predict.  Forward-looking statements in this press release include, among 
others, statements regarding future results as a result of our growth and 
productivity initiatives, our 2007 and 2008 financial outlook and the benefits 
of the new IDS structure.  Forward-looking statements are based upon 
assumptions as to future events that may not prove to be accurate.  Actual 
outcomes and results may differ materially from what is expressed or 
forecasted in these forward-looking statements.  As a result, these statements 
speak only as of the date they were made and we undertake no obligation to 
publicly update or revise any forward-looking statements, whether as a result 
of new information, future events or otherwise.  Our actual results and future 
trends may differ materially depending on a variety of factors, including the 
continued operation, viability and growth of major airline customers and non-
airline customers (such as the U.S. Government); adverse developments in the 
value of collateral securing customer and other financings; the occurrence of 
any significant collective bargaining labor dispute; our successful execution 
of internal performance plans including our company-wide growth and 
productivity initiatives, production rate increases and decreases (including 
any reduction in or termination of an aircraft product), availability of raw 
materials, acquisition and divestiture plans, and other cost-reduction and 
productivity efforts; charges from any future SFAS No. 142 review; ability to 
meet development, production and certification schedules for the 787 program; 
technical or quality issues in development programs (affecting schedule and 
cost estimates) or in the satellite industry; an adverse development in rating 
agency credit ratings or assessments; the actual outcomes of certain pending 
sales campaigns and the timely launch of the 787 program and U.S. and foreign 
government procurement activities, including the uncertainty associated with 
the procurement of tankers by the U.S. Department of Defense (DoD) and funding 
of the C-17 program; the cyclical nature of some of our businesses; 
unanticipated financial market changes which may impact pension plan 
assumptions; domestic and international competition in the defense, space and 
commercial areas; continued integration of acquired businesses; performance 
issues with key suppliers, subcontractors and customers; significant 
disruption to air travel worldwide (including future terrorist attacks); 
global trade policies; worldwide political stability; domestic and 
international economic conditions; price escalation; the outcome of political 
and legal processes, changing priorities or reductions in the U.S. Government 
or foreign government defense and space budgets; termination of government or 
commercial contracts due to unilateral government or customer action or 
failure to perform; legal, financial and governmental risks related to 
international transactions; legal and investigatory proceedings; tax 
settlements with the IRS and various states; U.S. Air Force review of 
previously awarded contracts; costs associated with the exit of the Connexion 
by Boeing business; and other economic, political and technological risks and 
uncertainties. Additional information regarding these factors is contained in 
our SEC filings, including, without limitation, our Annual Report on Form 10-K 
for the year ended December 31, 2005 and our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for 
the quarters ended March 31, 2006, June 30, 2006, and September 30, 2006.

                     Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Measures 
                         Adjusted Earnings Per Share 
                                 (Unaudited) 
     
    In addition to disclosing results that are determined in accordance with  
    U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP), the company also    
    discloses non-GAAP results that exclude certain significant charges or    
    credits that are important to an understanding of the company's ongoing   
    operations.  The company provides reconciliations of its non-GAAP         
    financial reporting to the most comparable GAAP reporting.  The company   
    believes that discussion of results excluding certain significant charges 
    or credits provides additional insights into underlying business          
    performance.  Adjusted earnings per share is not a measure recognized     
    under GAAP.  The determination of significant charges or credits may not  
    be comparable to similarly titled measures used by other companies and    
    may vary from quarter to quarter.
