CHICAGO, July 25 -- The Boeing Company's second-quarter net earnings increased to $1.1 billion, or $1.35 per share, compared to a loss of $160 million, or ($0.21) per share, after charges totaling $1.18 per share a year ago (Table 1). Second-quarter revenues grew 14 percent to $17.0 billion and earnings from operations rose to $1.5 billion, yielding an 8.8 percent operating margin.

Boeing increased its 2007 guidance for revenue, earnings per share and cash flow based on strength in its core businesses and company-wide growth and productivity efforts. These efforts more than offset an increased research and development forecast. Boeing reaffirmed its 2008 outlook.

"Our results and increased outlook reflect strong markets, preferred products and services, and a focus on execution, growth and productivity," said Boeing Chairman, President, and Chief Executive Officer Jim McNerney. "Our extensive productivity gains enable us to invest to protect key growth programs while still improving our financial performance. In short, we are taking on our challenges directly as we continue to realize this company's potential."

This year's second-quarter results reflect strong performance across the commercial airplane and defense businesses. Last year's results included charges of $571 million, or $0.77 per share, for a legal settlement and $496 million, or $0.41 per share, related to the Airborne Early Warning & Control (AEW&C) program. Excluding only the legal settlement, adjusted EPS* grew 141 percent, from $0.56 per share to $1.35 per share.

Second-quarter operating cash flow grew 49 percent to $3.6 billion, reflecting higher net earnings, aircraft financing prepayments and working capital management. Free cash flow* grew 53 percent to $3.2 billion after capital expenditures (Table 2).

Table 2. Cash Flow 2nd Quarter Six Months (Millions) 2007 2006 2007 2006 Operating Cash Flow (1) $3,634 $2,443 $4,362 $4,498 Less Additions to Property, Plant & Equipment ($414) ($333) ($865) ($745) Free Cash Flow* $3,220 $2,110 $3,497 $3,753 (1) Operating cash flow includes a $523 contribution to pension plans in first half of 2007 and $506 in first half 2006.

For the first half of the year, revenues increased 11 percent to $32.4 billion. Earnings increased to $2.48 per share, a $1.79 per share increase over 2006 which included charges for the legal settlement and for AEW&C. Total company backlog at quarter-end reached a record $279 billion, up 27 percent in the last twelve months due to continued strength in commercial airplane orders and additional defense orders.

Cash and investments in marketable securities totaled $10.5 billion at June 30, up 30 percent from $8.1 billion at the end of the first quarter (Table 3). The company increased its share repurchases, spending $620 million for 6.5 million shares during the quarter, leaving $1.4 billion remaining under the current repurchase authorization. Consolidated debt was stable during the quarter.

Segment Results Commercial Airplanes

Boeing Commercial Airplanes (BCA) second-quarter revenues increased 22 percent to $8.7 billion, on an 18 percent increase in deliveries to 114 airplanes as well as higher commercial aviation services revenue (Table 4). Operating earnings grew 34 percent to $960 million and operating margins expanded to 11.0 percent. Margins in the latest quarter reflect higher operating leverage and productivity improvements offset by planned R&D spending that was $243 million higher than in the second quarter of 2006. R&D spending in the second quarter was slightly lower than in the first quarter.

While R&D spending is still expected to be lower in the second half of this year than in the first six months, the decline will be less rapid than previously anticipated in order to meet commitments primarily on the 787 program. As a result, Boeing increased its R&D guidance for 2007. BCA expects its growth and productivity gains will more than offset the higher R&D forecast.

Table 4. Commercial Airplanes Operating Results (Millions, except deliveries & margin 2nd Quarter % Six Months % percent) 2007 2006 Change 2007 2006 Change Commercial Airplanes Deliveries 114 97 18% 220 195 13% Revenues $8,707 $7,113 22% $16,262 $14,166 15% Earnings from Operations $960 $719 34% $1,666 $1,422 17% Operating Margins 11.0% 10.1% 0.9 Pts 10.2% 10.0% 0.2 Pts

For the first half of the year, BCA revenues rose 15 percent to $16.3 billion on a 13 percent increase in airplane deliveries. Operating earnings grew 17 percent to $1.7 billion and margins expanded to 10.2 percent, driven by higher airplane deliveries and higher aircraft modification services and spares sales.

BCA booked 360 gross orders during the quarter and 549 in the first half. Its contractual backlog rose to a record $208 billion, increasing 47 percent in the last year to more than seven times BCA's 2006 revenues.

Recent important milestones for the 787 Dreamliner program include rollout of the first airplane and certification of the Dreamlifter aircraft. The program has won 683 firm orders to date from 47 customers. The program is performing the production, testing and integration activities that will lead to its first flight, which is targeted to occur by the end of September. Boeing continues to address and manage pressures with respect to supplier performance, schedule and weight. While the risks inherent in the latter stages of major airplane development programs remain, Boeing continues to expect on-time delivery of the 787 in May 2008, in accordance with its contractual obligations.

Integrated Defense Systems

Boeing Integrated Defense Systems (IDS) revenues rose 3 percent to $8.0 billion on higher aircraft deliveries and higher volume in support services, more than offsetting the loss of reported revenue from last year's formation of the United Launch Alliance (ULA) joint venture. Operating earnings grew to $854 million and operating margin expanded to 10.7 percent.

For the first half of the year, revenues increased 5 percent to $15.7 billion generating higher operating earnings of $1.6 billion and expanding operating margins to 10.4 percent. IDS results reflect higher volume across all segments combined with productivity improvements, partially offset by the ULA revenue exclusion.

Table 5. Integrated Defense Systems Operating Results (Millions, except 2nd Quarter % Six Months % margin percent) 2007 2006 Change 2007 2006 Change Revenues Precision Engagement & Mobility Systems $3,422 $3,344 2% $6,703 $6,435 4% Network & Space Systems $2,943 $2,937 0% $5,799 $5,682 2% Support Systems $1,616 $1,493 8% $3,200 $2,843 13% Total IDS Revenues $7,981 $7,774 3% $15,702 $14,960 5% Earnings (Loss) from Operations Precision Engagement & Mobility Systems $406 ($15)(1) N.M. $828 $453(1) 83% Network & Space Systems $256 $108 137% $418 $259 61% Support Systems $192 $216 (11%) $392 $414 (5%) Total IDS Earnings from Operations $854 $309 176% $1,638 $1,126 45% Operating Margins 10.7% 4.0% 6.7 Pts 10.4% 7.5% 2.9 Pts (1) A charge of $496 in 2Q06 due to increased costs on AEW&C reduced IDS margins by 6.4 points in the quarter and 3.3 points for the first six months, and reduced PE&MS margins by 14.8 points in the quarter and 7.7 points for the first six months.

Precision Engagement & Mobility Systems revenues grew 2 percent to $3.4 billion on higher deliveries from the F-15 and Chinook programs, partially offset by lower Apache revenues. Operating margin of 11.9 percent was driven by higher earnings on tactical aircraft and rotorcraft programs, partially offset by lower earnings on international tanker. Margins in last year's second quarter were affected by the AEW&C charge.

Network & Space Systems achieved significant milestones on development programs such as Future Combat Systems and Wideband Global SATCOM. Second-quarter revenues were $2.9 billion despite the loss of reported revenue from ULA. In the quarter, a commercial Delta launch and proprietary volume offset this reduction. Operating margin grew to 8.7 percent in the quarter reflecting strong performance across the segment's portfolio of programs.

Support Systems generated strong growth and profitability on its broad business base during the quarter. Revenues increased 8 percent to $1.6 billion and operating margin was 11.9 percent. The higher revenues reflect increased volume on integrated logistics programs and international support programs, while the margins were affected by a less favorable contract mix.

IDS' backlog at quarter-end was $70.5 billion as progress continued on large multi-year contracts.

Boeing Capital Corporation

Boeing Capital Corporation's (BCC) portfolio balance at the end of the second quarter was $7.0 billion, down $0.9 billion from the end of the first quarter of 2007 and down 18% from $8.5 billion a year ago on normal run-off, prepayments, asset sales and depreciation. Revenues declined consistent with portfolio reductions and the absence of asset sales from the year-ago period (Table 6). BCC increased pre-tax earnings 13 percent to $70 million on lower asset impairments and lower provisions for losses on receivables. BCC's debt-to-equity ratio remained steady at 5.0-to-1.

Table 6. Boeing Capital Corporation Operating Results 2nd Quarter % Six Months % (Millions) 2007 2006 Change 2007 2006 Change Revenues $209 $243 (14%) $422 $480 (12%) Pre-Tax Income $70 $62 13% $143 $132 8% Additional Information

The "Other" segment consists primarily of Boeing Engineering, Operations and Technology and the Connexion business (which was closed at the end of 2006), as well as certain results related to the consolidation of all business units. Other segment expense was $30 million in the second quarter, a significant improvement from $90 million of expense in the same period last year which included Connexion.

Unallocated share-based-plans expense was $133 million, down from $248 million in the same period of 2006 due to changes in the company's long-term compensation plans implemented last year, despite higher stock price appreciation. Pension expense for the quarter was $251 million, of which $141 million was recorded in unallocated expense, and the balance was recorded as expense at BCA and IDS. Boeing's pension plans are fully funded on a projected benefit obligation basis, and there were no significant cash contributions made during the quarter.

Outlook

The company's financial guidance summarized in Table 7 reflects strong performance from core businesses, higher commercial airplane deliveries, and company-wide productivity gains. Guidance is increased for 2007 revenue, earnings per share, cash flow, and R&D. Guidance for 2008 is reaffirmed.

Boeing's 2007 revenue guidance is now approximately $65 billion, up from $64.5 billion to $65 billion, and 2008 revenue guidance is reaffirmed at $71 billion to $72 billion. Earnings-per-share guidance for 2007 is now $4.80 to $4.95 per share, up from $4.55 to $4.75 per share. Guidance for 2008 EPS is reaffirmed at $5.55 per share to $5.75 per share. Operating cash flow for 2007 is now expected to be greater than $6 billion versus prior guidance of greater than $4 billion, and cash flow guidance for 2008 is reaffirmed at greater than $7 billion.

Commercial Airplanes expects to deliver between 440 and 445 airplanes this year, and is sold out. BCA revenue guidance for 2007 has been increased to approximately $33 billion, from a range of $32.5 billion to $33 billion, and operating margin guidance is increased to approximately 10.5 percent from greater than 10 percent. Airplane deliveries in 2008 are expected to be between 515 and 520 and are essentially sold out. Commercial Airplanes' 2008 revenue is expected to grow to between $39 billion and $40 billion, accompanied by margin expansion to approximately 11 percent. The company expects to deliver more airplanes in 2009 than in 2008.

IDS guidance for 2007 and 2008 is unchanged. Revenue this year is expected to be approximately $31 billion, and operating margins are expected to expand to approximately 11 percent. For 2008, IDS expects revenues to grow to between $32 billion and $33 billion, with operating margins of approximately 11 percent.

Boeing's research and development forecast for 2007 has been increased to approximately $3.7 billion from between $3.2 billion and $3.4 billion. This increase is due to higher spending than previously forecasted to maintain schedule on the 787 development program. While R&D spending in 2008 is expected to decline to between $2.8 billion and $3.0 billion, certain development program challenges could push spending above that range. 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 funding of Boeing's pension plans is expected to be approximately $500 million per year in 2007 and 2008. The company has already contributed approximately $500 million this year but 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 measures 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 is 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.
