Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
Overview
On January 5, 2024, a 737-9 flight made an emergency landing after a mid-exit door plug detached in flight. Following the accident, the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) grounded and required inspections of all 737-9 aircraft with a mid-exit door plug, which constituted the large majority of the approximately 220 737-9 aircraft in the in-service fleet. On January 24, 2024, the FAA approved an enhanced maintenance and inspection process that was required to be performed on each of the grounded 737-9 aircraft. Our 737-9 operators returned their fleets to service in the first quarter of 2024. All 737-9 aircraft in production are undergoing this same enhanced inspection process prior to delivery.
As a result of the accident, the FAA performed an investigation into the 737 quality control system. In the second quarter of 2024, we submitted a comprehensive safety and quality plan to the FAA to address the issues identified. As part of our plan to improve quality and safety and to address the issues identified, we slowed production rates and delayed planned production rate increases to reduce traveled work in our factory, as well as at our suppliers. We also began taking additional actions to improve safety and quality, which include investing in workforce training, simplifying plans and processes, eliminating defects, and enhancing our safety and quality culture.
The 737-9 door plug accident and the resulting actions to improve compliance with our manufacturing quality control requirements have significantly impacted our financial position, results of operations and cash flows.
On November 4, 2024, the International Association of Machinists and Aerospace Workers District 751 (IAM 751) voted to ratify a new contract, thereby ending the work stoppage initiated on September 13, 2024, which paused production of certain commercial aircraft models (737, 767, 777 and 777X aircraft) as well as production of commercial derivative aircraft for our Defense, Space & Security business (KC-46A Tanker and P-8A Poseidon). Production for all programs resumed in December 2024 and gradually ramped up during the first quarter of 2025.
Consolidated Results of Operations and Financial Condition
Consolidated Results of Operations
The following table summarizes key indicators of consolidated results of operations:
| (Dollars in millions, except per share data) | Three months ended March 31 | ||||||||||||||||||||||
| 2025 | 2024 | ||||||||||||||||||||||
| Revenues | $19,496 | $16,569 | |||||||||||||||||||||

| Earnings/(loss) from operations | $461 | ($86) | |||||||||||||||||||||
| Operating margins | 2.4 | % | (0.5) | % | |||||||||||||||||||

(1)These measures exclude certain components of pension and other postretirement benefit expense. See pages 47-48 for important information about these non-GAAP measures and reconciliations to the most directly comparable GAAP measures.
Revenues
The following table summarizes Revenues:
| (Dollars in millions) | Three months ended March 31 | ||||||||||||||||||||||
| 2025 | 2024 | ||||||||||||||||||||||
| Commercial Airplanes | $8,147 | $4,653 | |||||||||||||||||||||
| Defense, Space & Security | 6,298 | 6,950 | |||||||||||||||||||||
| Global Services | 5,063 | 5,045 | |||||||||||||||||||||
| Unallocated items, eliminations and other | (12) | (79) | |||||||||||||||||||||
| Total | $19,496 | $16,569 |
Revenues for the three months ended March 31, 2025, increased by $2,927 million compared with the same period in 2024 driven by higher revenues at Commercial Airplanes (BCA) and Global Services (BGS), partially offset by lower revenues at Defense, Space & Security (BDS). BCA revenues increased by $3,494 million primarily due to higher deliveries and the absence of 737-9 customer considerations. BGS revenues increased by $18 million primarily due to higher government services revenue, partially offset by lower commercial services revenue. BDS revenues decreased by $652 million primarily driven by lower volume and the absence of a favorable MQ-25 contract modification that was awarded in the first quarter of 2024, partially offset by lower net unfavorable cumulative catch-up adjustments compared to the comparable period in the prior year.
Revenues will continue to be significantly impacted until deliveries ramp up, the global supply chain stabilizes, and labor instability diminishes.

(b)Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting.
There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the first quarter of 2025 that have materially affected or are reasonably likely to materially affect our internal control over financial reporting.
Part II. Other Information
Item 1. Legal Proceedings
Currently, we are involved in a number of legal proceedings. For a discussion of contingencies related to legal proceedings, see Note 17 to our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements, which is hereby incorporated by reference.
Item 1A. Risk Factors
The following risks update the risk factors set forth in Part I, Item 1A. Risk Factors in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024. Please refer to Part I, Item 1A. Risk Factors in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024, for other risks related to our business.
We derive a significant portion of our revenues from non-U.S. sales and are subject to risks of doing business in other countries, including those related to tariffs, trade restrictions and government actions.
In 2024, non-U.S. customers, which include foreign military sales, accounted for approximately 46% of our total revenues and approximately 70% of Commercial Airplanes revenue from customer contracts. We expect non-U.S. sales will continue to account for a significant portion of our revenues for the foreseeable future. We are subject to risks of doing business internationally, including:
-
changes in regulatory requirements or other executive branch actions, such as Executive Orders;
-
changes in the global trade environment, including potential deterioration in geopolitical or trade relations between countries;
-
disputes with authorities in non-U.S. jurisdictions, including international trade authorities;
-
imposition of domestic and international taxes, export controls, tariffs, duties, embargoes, sanctions and other trade restrictions;
-
tariffs, duties or other costs attributable to the importation of raw materials, parts, products and services, which could impact sales and/or delivery of products and services outside the U.S. and/or impose increased costs on us, our supply chain or our customers;
-
changes to U.S. and non-U.S. government policies, including sourcing restrictions, requirements to expend a portion of program funds locally and governmental industrial cooperation or participation requirements;
-
fluctuations in international currency exchange rates;
-
volatility in international political and economic environments and changes in non-U.S. national priorities and budgets, which can lead to delays or fluctuations in orders;
-
the complexity and necessity of using non-U.S. representatives and consultants;
-
the uncertainty of the ability of non-U.S. customers to finance purchases, including the availability of financing from the Export-Import Bank of the United States;
-
uncertainties and restrictions concerning the availability of funding credit or guarantees;
-
the difficulty of management and operation of an enterprise spread over many countries;
-
compliance with a variety of non-U.S. laws, as well as U.S. laws affecting the activities of U.S. companies abroad; and unforeseen developments and conditions, including terrorism, war, epidemics and international tensions and conflicts.
While the impact of these factors is difficult to predict, any one or more of these factors could adversely affect our operations.
The United States recently announced changes to U.S. trade policy, including adding new or modifying existing tariffs on imports, in some cases significantly. For example, on April 2, 2025, the United States announced a 10% baseline reciprocal tariff on imports from all countries, plus an additional country-specific tariff on imports from select trading partners. Other countries have announced retaliatory actions or plans for retaliatory actions. On April 9, 2025, the United States implemented a 90-day pause on the country-specific tariffs for all countries except China, while maintaining the 10% baseline tariff. Tariffs and any retaliatory actions could significantly increase the cost of our products and, particularly with respect to our commercial aircraft, result in lower demand for our products, delivery delays, and terminations of orders by customers.
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 and other economic and national security concerns. In April 2025, certain customers in China informed us that they will not accept deliveries. If we are unable to deliver aircraft to customers in China consistent with our assumptions and/or obtain additional orders from China in the future, we may experience reduced deliveries and/or lower market share.
Impacts from potential deterioration in geopolitical or trade relationships between the U.S. and other countries, particularly China and European Union members states, including as a result of the risks described above, could have a material adverse impact on our financial position, results of operations and/or cash flows.
