The Boeing Company [NYSE: BA] reported fourth-quarter revenue of $25.4 billion 
with GAAP earnings per share of $5.18 and core earnings per share (non-GAAP)* 
of $4.80 reflecting record deliveries and strong performance, as well as

"Across Boeing our teams delivered a record year of financial and operational 
performance as they focused on disciplined execution of production and 
development programs, growing services, and delivering value to customers," 
said Boeing Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer Dennis Muilenburg. 
"That performance enables increased investments in our people and our business, 
and greater cash return to shareholders." 
 
"In 2017 we delivered the first 737 MAX airplanes, launched the 737 MAX 10 and 
completed the 787-10 first flight, all while delivering more commercial 
airplanes than ever before. We flew the first KC-46 Tanker to be delivered to 
the U.S. Air Force, were awarded an initial contract for the Ground Based 
Strategic Deterrent program, and a contract to provide 36 F-15 fighters to 
Qatar. We launched Boeing Global Services during the year, to deliver greater 
lifecycle value, and achieved growth that outpaced the market." 
 
"We actively positioned for future markets and growth by developing new 
products and services, investing to build vertical capabilities, launching the 
HorizonX innovation organization and bringing in new capabilities, including 
the acquisition of Aurora Flight Sciences. Looking forward, our team remains 
focused on winning through innovation, driving growth and productivity and 
extending our position as the world's leading aerospace company - delivering 
the best value to our customers, our employees and our shareholders."

Operating cash flow in the quarter of $2.9 billion was driven by strong 
operating performance (Table 2). During the quarter, the company repurchased 
6.7 million shares for $1.7 billion and paid $0.8 billion in dividends. For the 
full year, the company repurchased 46.1 million shares for $9.2 billion and 
paid $3.4 billion in dividends. Based on strong cash generation and confidence 
in the company's outlook, the board of directors in December increased the 
quarterly dividend per share by 20 percent and replaced the existing share 
repurchase program with a new $18 billion authorization. Share repurchases 
under the new authorization are expected to be made over the next 24 to 30 
months.

At quarter-end, Boeing Capital's net portfolio balance was $3.0 billion. Total 
pension expense for the fourth quarter was $105 million, down from $434 million 
in the same period of the prior year. Revenue in other unallocated items and 
eliminations increased primarily due to timing of eliminations of intercompany 
aircraft deliveries, including those accounted for under operating lease. 
Earnings attributed to other unallocated items and eliminations decreased 
primarily due to higher deferred compensation. The effective tax rate for the 
fourth quarter reflects the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act enacted into law in December 
2017, which reduced income tax expense by $1,051 million and increased 
fourth-quarter earnings per share by $1.74, primarily due to the remeasurement 
of our net U.S. deferred tax liabilities to reflect the reduction in the 
federal tax rate from 35% to 21%. 
 
Outlook 
 
The Company is adopting two new accounting standards, as previously planned, in 
the first quarter of 2018, the revenue recognition standard (ASC 606) and the 
pension and postretirement accounting changes (ASC 715). Additional exhibits 
are included on pages 15-18 with restated 2017 and 2016 results adjusted for 
the adoption of ASC 606 and ASC 715. The Company has provided this comparable 
information in the exhibits and below to help investors understand the 2018

Non-GAAP Measures Disclosures 
 
We supplement the reporting of our financial information determined under 
Generally Accepted Accounting Principles in the United States of America (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 other postretirement benefit 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 other 
postretirement benefit expense. Unallocated pension and other postretirement 
benefit expense represents the portion of pension and other post-retirement 
costs that are not recognized by business segments for segment reporting 
purposes. Pension costs, comprising service and prior service costs computed in 
accordance with GAAP are allocated to Commercial Airplanes and 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. 
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 14. 
 
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. 
 
Adoption of ASC 606 and ASC 715 
 
We are adopting Accounting Standards Update Nos. 2014-09, Revenue from 
Contracts with Customers (ASC 606) and ASU 2017-07, Compensation - Retirement 
Benefits (Topic 715): Improving the Presentation of Net Periodic Pension Cost 
and Net Periodic Postretirement Benefit Cost (ASC 715) in the first quarter of 
2018. The following definition reflects the changes to Non-GAAP measures as a 
result of the adoption of those standards. 
 
Core Operating Earnings, Core Operating Margin and Core Earnings Per Share 
 
Core operating earnings is defined as GAAP earnings from operations excluding 
the FAS/CAS service cost adjustment. The FAS/CAS service cost adjustment 
represents the difference between the FAS pension and postretirement service 
costs calculated under GAAP and costs allocated to the business segments. 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 the FAS/CAS 
service cost adjustment and Non-operating pension and postretirement expenses. 
Non-operating pension and postretirement expenses represent 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 Commercial Airplanes and 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. 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 non-service 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 pages 17-18. 
 
                 Caution Concerning Forward-Looking Statements 
 
This press release contains "forward-looking statements" within the meaning of 
the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Words such as "may," 
"should," "expects," "intends," "projects," "plans," "believes," "estimates," 
"targets," "anticipates," and similar expressions generally identify these 
forward-looking statements. Examples of forward-looking statements include 
statements relating to our future financial condition and operating results, as 
well as any other statement that does not directly relate to any historical or 
current fact. Forward-looking statements are based on expectations and 
assumptions that we believe to be reasonable when made, but that may not prove 
to be accurate. These statements are not guarantees and are subject to risks, 
uncertainties, and changes in circumstances that are difficult to predict. Many 
factors could cause actual results to differ materially and adversely from 
these forward-looking statements. Among these factors are risks related to: (1) 
general conditions in the economy and our industry, including those due to 
regulatory changes; (2) our reliance on our commercial airline customers; (3) 
the overall health of our aircraft production system, planned commercial 
aircraft production rate changes, our commercial development and derivative 
aircraft programs, and our aircraft being subject to stringent performance and 
reliability standards; (4) changing budget and appropriation levels and 
acquisition priorities of the U.S. government; (5) our dependence on U.S. 
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) 
threats to the security of our or our customers' information; (14) potential 
adverse developments in new or pending litigation and/or government 
investigations; (15) customer and aircraft concentration in our customer 
financing portfolio; (16) changes in our ability to obtain debt on commercially 
reasonable terms and at competitive rates; (17) realizing the anticipated 
benefits of mergers, acquisitions, joint ventures/strategic alliances or 
divestitures; (18) the adequacy of our insurance coverage to cover significant 
risk exposures; (19) potential business disruptions, including those related to 
physical security threats, information technology or cyber-attacks, epidemics, 
sanctions or natural disasters; (20) work stoppages or other labor disruptions; 
(21) substantial pension and other postretirement benefit obligations; (22) 
potential environmental liabilities. 
 
Additional information concerning these and other factors can be found in our 
filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission, including our most recent 
Annual Report on Form 10-K, Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q and Current Reports 
on Form 8-K. Any forward-looking statement speaks only as of the date on which 
it is made, and we assume no obligation to update or revise any forward-looking 
statement, whether as a result of new information, future events, or otherwise, 
except as required by law.
