CHICAGO, Jan. 30 /PRNewswire / -- The Boeing Company's 2007 net income increased 84 percent to a record $4.1 billion, or $5.28 per share, up from $2.2 billion, or $2.85 per share, in 2006 on higher commercial airplane deliveries, strong growth in defense earnings, companywide productivity improvements, and certain charges recorded in 2006 (Table 1). Revenue rose 8 percent to a record $66.4 billion, while the operating margin expanded to 8.8 percent driven by double-digit margins in its commercial airplanes and defense businesses.
Fourth-quarter revenue held at $17.5 billion while the operating margin increased to 8.7 percent driven by margin expansion in its core businesses. Operating earnings grew 32 percent, while earnings per share increased 5 percent to $1.36 per share affected by a higher effective tax rate.
Boeing raised its 2008 earnings per share guidance to between $5.70 and $5.85, as productivity gains are being realized ahead of earlier plans.
"Our 2007 results demonstrate the kind of quality financial performance we can achieve through our simultaneous focus on growth and productivity," said Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer Jim McNerney. "We added substantial backlog, made major efficiency gains, and executed well on our production and services programs. Despite some development program challenges, we are a strong company growing stronger, and we expect continued improvement in our financial results in 2008 and beyond."
Full-year operating cash flow grew 28 percent to a record $9.6 billion, reflecting strong operating earnings, higher commercial airplane orders, and a decrease in working capital requirements. Free cash flow* increased 35 percent to a record $7.9 billion (Table 2). Total company backlog at year-end reached a record $327 billion, up 31 percent in the last twelve months driven by commercial airplane orders and defense program wins.

Cash and investments in marketable securities totaled $12.1 billion at year-end, up 30 percent from the same period last year and down slightly from the end of the third quarter (Table 3). During the fourth quarter, the company increased its share repurchase authorization by $7 billion and spent $890 million for 9.4 million shares. Share repurchases for the year totaled $2.8 billion for 29.0 million shares. Also in the fourth quarter, the company increased its dividend by 14 percent. Consolidated debt decreased 5 percent as Boeing Capital Corporation repaid maturing debt.

Boeing Commercial Airplanes (BCA) fourth-quarter revenues increased 17 percent to $8.9 billion on a 9 percent increase in deliveries, to 112 airplanes, and higher commercial aviation services revenue (Table 4). Operating earnings grew 46 percent to $973 million on favorable product mix, and operating margins expanded to 11.0 percent. Margins in the latest quarter primarily reflect higher operating leverage and expanding productivity.

For the full year, BCA revenues rose 17 percent to $33.4 billion on an 11 percent increase in airplane deliveries and higher services volume. Operating earnings grew 31 percent to $3.6 billion while margins expanded to 10.7 percent, driven by higher delivery volume and services sales, partially offset by increased R&D spending.
BCA booked 520 gross orders during the quarter and a record 1,423 during the year. Contractual backlog rose to a record $255 billion, increasing 46 percent in 2007 to more than seven times BCA's annual revenues.
Progress on the new 787 Dreamliner continues on the revised schedule announced earlier this month. Boeing continues to address challenges associated with assembly of the first airplanes, including start-up issues in our factory and in our extended global supply chain. The company expects the first flight to occur around the end of the second quarter of 2008 with first delivery in early 2009. The program won a record 369 787 orders in 2007, bringing total firm orders since launch to 857 airplanes from 56 customers.
Integrated Defense Systems
Boeing Integrated Defense Systems (IDS) expanded operating margins more than 100 basis points to 11.7 percent in the fourth-quarter on revenue of $8.4 billion. Revenues declined from the same period last year driven by timing of aircraft deliveries and the December 2006 formation of the United Launch Alliance (ULA) joint venture.
For the full year, IDS grew operating earnings by 13 percent to $3.4 billion and expanded operating margins to 10.7 percent on revenues of $32.1 billion. IDS results reflect strong execution in all segments and extensive productivity improvements. During the year, IDS won nine out of eleven significant competitions, demonstrating the value its defense products provide to customers worldwide.

Precision Engagement & Mobility Systems expanded fourth-quarter operating margin to 11.0 percent on lower revenue of $3.6 billion. Margin results were driven by strong execution across aircraft production programs, including EA-18G and C-17. The change in revenues reflects lower aircraft deliveries compared to the year-ago period.
Network & Space Systems achieved significant milestones on several key programs. Operating margin expanded to 10.2 percent in the quarter driven by strong performance across the segment's broad array of programs, including Future Combat Systems and Ground-based Midcourse Defense, which captured 100 percent of award fees. Revenues fell to $2.9 billion on the removal of ULA-reported revenue.
Support Systems again generated strong profits on its broad portfolio of services and logistics programs. Operating margin grew to 15.4 percent on solid program execution and contract mix, while revenues for the quarter fell to $1.9 billion on lower volume and timing of aircraft modifications,
IDS' backlog at quarter-end grew to $71.7 billion reflecting new orders that exceeded current-period revenues. Significant new orders in the quarter include the Tracking & Data Relay Satellites, Singapore F-15SGs and Ares I Instrument Unit Avionics award.
Boeing Capital Corporation
Boeing Capital Corporation (BCC) reported fourth-quarter pre-tax earnings of $30 million compared to $37 million in the same period last year which included a larger portfolio (Table 6). BCC's portfolio balance at the end of the quarter was $6.5 billion, down from $8.0 billion at the beginning of the year primarily on normal portfolio run-off, customer prepayments and depreciation. BCC contributed $92 million in cash dividends to the company during the quarter and $408 million in 2007. BCC's debt-to-equity ratio remained steady at 5.0-to-1.

The "Other" segment consists primarily of Boeing Engineering, Operations and Technology and the Connexion business (which was exited at the end of 2006), as well as certain results related to the consolidation of all business units. Other segment expense was $165 million in the fourth quarter, up from $93 million of expense in the same period last year due to higher environmental remediation expenses.
Unallocated share-based-plans expense was $6 million, down from $140 million in the same period last year due to changes in the company's long-term compensation plans implemented in 2006. Reversal of deferred compensation expense recorded earlier in the year contributed $66 million to earnings due to a lower share price and broad stock market conditions. Pension expense for the quarter rose $80 million to $301 million, of which $141 million was recorded in unallocated expense, and the balance was recorded as expense at BCA and IDS. At year-end, Boeing's pension plans were more than fully funded at 110 percent of the projected benefit obligation.
Outlook
The company's financial guidance summarized in Table 7 reflects strong business performance forecasts at IDS and BCA, increasing commercial airplane deliveries, continued investment in new airplane development and company-wide productivity gains. As previously disclosed, Boeing will provide complete financial guidance for 2009 when the company issues its first-quarter 2008 earnings report in late April, which will follow the assessment of the impact of the previously announced 787 schedule changes.
Boeing's 2008 revenue guidance is now between $67 billion and $68 billion, down from between $67.5 billion and $68.5 billion due to the 787 delay. Earnings-per-share guidance for 2008 is raised to $5.70 to $5.85 per share, from $5.55 to $5.75 per share, as productivity gains are being realized ahead of earlier plans. Operating cash flow guidance for 2008 is reduced to greater than $2.5 billion reflecting the 787 schedule, from greater than $3 billion.
For 2009, the outlook for the company's defense business and in-production commercial airplane programs remains very strong. As a result, the company continues to expect strong earnings per share growth in 2009.
Commercial Airplanes now expects to deliver between 475 and 480 airplanes in 2008 and is sold out, down slightly from 480 to 490 airplanes to reflect the rescheduling of initial 787 deliveries into 2009. BCA revenue guidance for 2008 is now $34.5 billion to $35 billion, down from $35 billion to $36 billion, and operating margin guidance is increased to approximately 11.5 percent from approximately 11 percent as productivity gains are being realized ahead of earlier plans.
IDS revenue guidance for 2008 is unchanged at $32 billion to $33 billion. Guidance for 2008 IDS operating margin is unchanged at approximately 10.5 percent.
Boeing's total R&D forecast for 2008 is unchanged at between $3.2 billion and $3.4 billion, a decline of approximately 14 percent from the 2007 level. Annual capital expenditures are expected to be approximately $1.8 billion in 2008.
The company's non-cash pension expense is expected to be approximately $0.8 billion for 2008. Discretionary funding of Boeing's pension plans in 2008 is expected to be approximately $500 million.

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 measures. Other companies may define the measures differently. The following definitions are provided:
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.
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.
