Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

(Dollars in millions, except per share data)

(Unaudited)

Note 1 – Basis of Presentation

The condensed consolidated interim financial statements included in this report have been prepared by management of The Boeing Company (herein referred to as "Boeing", the "Company", "we", "us", or "our"). In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) necessary for a fair presentation are reflected in the interim financial statements. The results of operations for the period ended June 30, 2017 are not necessarily indicative of the operating results for the full year. The interim financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited Consolidated Financial Statements, including the notes thereto, included in our 2016 Annual Report on Form 10-K.

Standards Issued and Not Yet Implemented

In February 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) No. 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842) . The new standard is effective for reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2018 and early adoption is permitted. The standard will require lessees to report most leases as assets and liabilities on the balance sheet, while lessor accounting will remain substantially unchanged. The standard requires a modified retrospective transition approach for existing leases, whereby the new rules will be applied to the earliest year presented. We do not expect the new lease standard to have a material effect on our financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

We plan to adopt ASU No. 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers effective January 1, 2018 and apply it retrospectively to all periods presented. This comprehensive new standard will supersede existing revenue recognition guidance and require revenue to be recognized when promised goods or services are transferred to customers in amounts that reflect the consideration to which the company expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. The standard also requires expanded disclosures regarding revenue and contracts with customers.

We expect adoption of the new standard will have a material impact on our income statement and balance sheet. We currently expect that most of our Defense, Space & Security ( BDS ) contracts that currently recognize revenue as deliveries are made or based on the attainment of performance milestones will recognize revenue under the new standard as costs are incurred. Certain military derivative aircraft contracts in our Commercial Airplane ( BCA ) business will also recognize revenue as costs are incurred. The new standard will not change the total amount of revenue recognized on these contracts, only accelerate the timing of when the revenue is recognized. We expect a corresponding acceleration in timing of cost of sales recognition for these contracts resulting in a decrease in Inventories from long-term contracts in progress upon adoption of the new standard.

We do not expect the new standard to affect revenue recognition or the use of program accounting for commercial airplane contracts in our BCA business. We will continue to recognize revenue for these contracts at the point in time when the customer accepts delivery of the airplane.

We have completed a preliminary assessment of the impact of adopting the new standard on previously reported 2016 and prior period results. Because revenue will be recognized under the new standard as costs are incurred for most of our defense and military derivative airplane contracts, approximately $10,000 of revenues and $1,000 of associated earnings will be accelerated into years ending prior to the January 1, 2016 effective date. Therefore, as of January 1, 2016, we expect to record a cumulative adjustment to increase retained earnings by approximately $1,000 . We expect consolidated revenues previously reported in 2016 to decrease by approximately $1,000 , primarily reflecting $2,000 of lower revenues on several defense contracts that currently recognize revenues as deliveries are made, partially offset by higher KC-46A Tanker revenues. These revenue changes are expected to reduce previously reported segment operating earnings by approximately $400 . We expect the reduction in 2016 segment operating earnings to be offset by increases in unallocated pension income. We expect adoption will increase total assets and total liabilities

Table of Contents

by approximately $20,000 primarily due to classifying certain advances from customers as liabilities under the new standard, whereas these advances were netted against inventory under existing Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP). We expect the new standard to have no impact on cash flows reported in 2016. The impact of the new standard on our 2016 financial results may not be representative of the impact on our financial position and operating results in subsequent years.

We are continuing to analyze the impact of the new standard on the Company's revenue contracts, comparing our current accounting policies and practices to the requirements of the new standard. The new standard requires additional detailed disclosures regarding the company's contracts with customers, including disclosure of remaining unsatisfied performance obligations, in the first quarter 2018 which we are continuing to assess. We are also identifying and implementing changes to the Company's business processes, systems and controls to support adoption of the new standard in 2018 and recasting prior periods' financial information.

Use of Estimates

Management makes assumptions and estimates to prepare financial statements in conformity with GAAP. Those assumptions and estimates directly affect the amounts reported in the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements. Significant estimates for which changes in the near term are considered reasonably possible and that may have a material impact on the financial statements are disclosed in these Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

Contract accounting is used for development and production activities predominantly by BDS . Contract accounting involves a judgmental process of estimating total sales and costs for each contract resulting in the development of estimated cost of sales percentages. Changes in estimated revenues, cost of sales and the related effect on operating income are recognized using a cumulative catch-up adjustment which recognizes in the current period the cumulative effect of the changes on current and prior periods based on a contract's percent complete. Net cumulative catch-up adjustments to prior years' earnings, including reach-forward losses, across all contracts were as follows:



	Six months ended June 30					Three months ended June 30
	2017		2016			2017		2016
Increase/(Decrease) to Earnings from Operations		$263		($587	)		$231		($503	)
Increase/(Decrease) to Diluted EPS		$0.31		($0.70	)		$0.27		($0.39	)

Note 2 – Earnings Per Share

Basic and diluted earnings per share are computed using the two-class method, which is an earnings allocation method that determines earnings per share for common shares and participating securities. The undistributed earnings are allocated between common shares and participating securities as if all earnings had been distributed during the period. Participating securities and common shares have equal rights to undistributed earnings.

Basic earnings per share is calculated by taking net earnings, less earnings available to participating securities, divided by the basic weighted average common shares outstanding.

Diluted earnings per share is calculated by taking net earnings, less earnings available to participating securities, divided by the diluted weighted average common shares outstanding.

Note 3 – Income Taxes

Our effective income tax rates were 27.5% and 28.7% for the six and three months ended June 30, 2017 and 21.9% and 51.1% for the same periods in the prior year. The year-over-year effective tax rate variances for both periods are primarily due to higher year-to-date and projected pre-tax earnings in 2017. In addition, higher share-based compensation tax benefits were recognized for the six-month period of 2017 compared with the prior year.

Federal income tax audits have been settled for all years prior to 2013. The Internal Revenue Service (IRS) is currently examining the 2013-2014 tax years. We are also subject to examination in major state and international jurisdictions for the 2001-2016 tax years. We believe appropriate provisions for all outstanding tax issues have been made for all jurisdictions and all open years.

Note 5 – Customer Financing

Customer financing primarily relates to the Boeing Capital ( BCC ) segment and consisted of the following:



	June 30 2017			December 31 2016
Financing receivables:
Investment in sales-type/finance leases		$1,425			$1,482
Notes	884			807
Total financing receivables	2,309			2,289
Operating lease equipment, at cost, less accumulated depreciation of $339 and $359	1,653			1,922
Gross customer financing	3,962			4,211
Less allowance for losses on receivables	(15		)	(10		)
Total		$3,947			$4,201

We determine a receivable is impaired when, based on current information and events, it is probable that we will be unable to collect amounts due according to the original contractual terms. At June 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016 , we individually evaluated for impairment customer financing receivables of $56 and $55 , of which $45 and $44 were determined to be impaired. We recorded no allowance for losses on these impaired receivables as the collateral values exceeded the carrying values of the receivables.

The adequacy of the allowance for losses is assessed quarterly. Three primary factors influencing the level of our allowance for losses on customer financing receivables are customer credit ratings, default rates and collateral values. We assign internal credit ratings for all customers and determine the creditworthiness of each customer based upon publicly available information and information obtained directly from our customers. Our rating categories are comparable to those used by the major credit rating agencies.

Our financing receivable balances by internal credit rating category are shown below:



Rating categories	June 30 2017		December 31 2016
BBB		$1,233		$1,324
BB	507		538
B	525		383
CCC	44		44
Total carrying value of financing receivables		$2,309		$2,289

At June 30, 2017 , our allowance related to receivables with ratings of B, BB and BBB. We applied default rates that averaged 17.5% , 8.4% and 1.0% , respectively, to the exposure associated with those receivables.

Customer Financing Exposure

Customer financing is collateralized by security in the related asset. The value of the collateral is closely tied to commercial airline performance and overall market conditions and may be subject to reduced valuation with market decline. Declines in collateral values could result in asset impairments, reduced finance lease income, and an increase in the allowance for losses. Our customer financing collateral is concentrated in 747-8 and out-of-production aircraft. Generally, out-of-production aircraft have experienced greater collateral value declines than in-production aircraft.

Table of Contents

The majority of customer financing carrying values are concentrated in the following aircraft models:



	June 30 2017		December 31 2016
717 Aircraft ($290 and $301 accounted for as operating leases)		$1,171		$1,282
747-8 Aircraft ($938 and $1,086 accounted for as operating leases)	1,058		1,111
757 Aircraft ($41 and $43 accounted for as operating leases)	238		246
MD-80 Aircraft (accounted for as sales-type finance leases)	232		259
777 Aircraft ($14 and $0 accounted for as operating leases)	167		165
747-400 Aircraft ($90 and $149 accounted for as operating leases)	163		149
767 Aircraft ($28 and $85 accounted for as operating leases)	107		170
737 Aircraft ($97 and $103 accounted for as operating leases)	102		103

Note 6 – Investments

Our investments, which are recorded in Short-term and other investments or Investments, consisted of the following:



	June 30 2017		December 31 2016
Equity method investments (1)		$1,220		$1,242
Time deposits	1,028		665
Available-for-sale investments	514		537

(2)	Reflects amounts restricted in support of our workers' compensation programs and insurance premiums.

Note 7 – Other Assets

Sea Launch

At June 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016 , Other assets included $356 of receivables related to our former investment in the Sea Launch venture which became payable by certain Sea Launch partners following Sea Launch's bankruptcy filing in June 2009. The net amounts owed to Boeing by each of the partners are as follows: S.P. Koroley Rocket and Space Corporation Energia of Russia (RSC Energia) – $223 , PO Yuzhnoye Mashinostroitelny Zavod of Ukraine – $89 and KB Yuzhnoye of Ukraine – $44 .

On February 1, 2013, we filed an action in the United States District Court for the Central District of California seeking reimbursement from the other Sea Launch partners. On May 12, 2016, the court issued a judgment in favor of Boeing.

In December 2016, we reached an agreement which we believe will enable us to recover the outstanding receivable balance from RSC Energia over the next several years. The agreement was subject to certain contingencies which were resolved during the first quarter of 2017. We continue to pursue collection efforts against the former Ukrainian partners in connection with the court judgment and continue to believe the partners have the financial wherewithal to pay and intend to pursue vigorously all of our rights and remedies. In the event we are unable to secure reimbursement from the Sea Launch partners, we could incur additional charges. Our current assessment as to the collectability of these receivables takes into account the current economic conditions in Russia and Ukraine, although we will continue to monitor the situation.

Table of Contents

Spirit AeroSystems

As of June 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016 , Other assets included $143 of receivables related to indemnifications from Spirit AeroSystems, Inc. (Spirit) for costs incurred related to pension and retiree medical obligations of former Boeing employees who were subsequently employed by Spirit. During the fourth quarter of 2014, Boeing filed a complaint against Spirit in the Delaware Superior Court seeking to enforce our rights to indemnification and to recover from Spirit amounts incurred by Boeing for pension and retiree medical obligations. In the second quarter of 2017, the court ruled against Boeing and denied our claim. Boeing plans to appeal to the Delaware Supreme Court and we believe we have substantial arguments on appeal. We expect to fully recover from Spirit.

Note 8 – Commitments and Contingencies

Environmental

The following table summarizes environmental remediation activity during the six months ended June 30, 2017 and 2016 .



	2017			2016
Beginning balance – January 1		$562			$566
Reductions for payments made	(23		)	(20		)
Changes in estimates	(19		)	44
Ending balance – June 30		$520			$590

The liabilities recorded represent our best estimate or the low end of a range of reasonably possible costs expected to be incurred to remediate sites, including operation and maintenance over periods of up to 30 years. It is reasonably possible that we may incur charges that exceed these recorded amounts because of regulatory agency orders and directives, changes in laws and/or regulations, higher than expected costs and/or the discovery of new or additional contamination. As part of our estimating process, we develop a range of reasonably possible alternate scenarios that includes the high end of a range of reasonably possible cost estimates for all remediation sites for which we have sufficient information based on our experience and existing laws and regulations. There are some potential remediation obligations where the costs of remediation cannot be reasonably estimated. At June 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016 , the high end of the estimated range of reasonably possible remediation costs exceeded our recorded liabilities by $852 and $857 .

Product Warranties

The following table summarizes product warranty activity recorded during the six months ended June 30, 2017 and 2016 .



	2017			2016
Beginning balance – January 1		$1,414			$1,485
Additions for current year deliveries	126			195

Changes in estimates	(109		)	(84		)
Ending balance – June 30		$1,306			$1,411

Commercial Aircraft Commitments

In conjunction with signing definitive agreements for the sale of new aircraft (Sale Aircraft), we have entered into trade-in commitments with certain customers that give them the right to trade in used aircraft at a specified price upon the purchase of Sale Aircraft. The probability that trade-in commitments will be exercised is determined by using both quantitative information from valuation sources and qualitative information from

Table of Contents

other sources. The probability of exercise is assessed quarterly, or as events trigger a change, and takes into consideration the current economic and airline industry environments. Trade-in commitments, which can be terminated by mutual consent with the customer, may be exercised only during the period specified in the agreement, and require advance notice by the customer.

Trade-in commitment agreements at June 30, 2017 have expiration dates from 2017 through 2026 . At June 30, 2017 , and December 31, 2016 total contractual trade-in commitments were $1,719 and $1,485 . As of June 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016 , we estimated that it was probable we would be obligated to perform on certain of these commitments with net amounts payable to customers totaling $107 and $126 and the fair value of the related trade-in aircraft was $107 and $126 .

Financing Commitments

Financing commitments related to aircraft on order, including options and those proposed in sales campaigns, and refinancing of delivered aircraft, totaled $13,467 and $14,847 as of June 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016 . The estimated earliest potential funding dates for these commitments as of June 30, 2017 are as follows:



	Total
July through December 2017		$905
2018	3,542
2019	3,193
2020	1,772
2021	1,644
Thereafter	2,411
		$13,467

As of June 30, 2017 , all of these financing commitments related to customers we believe have less than investment-grade credit. We have concluded that no reserve for future potential losses is required for these financing commitments based upon the terms, such as collateralization and interest rates, under which funding would be provided.

Standby Letters of Credit and Surety Bonds

We have entered into standby letters of credit and surety bonds with financial institutions primarily relating to the guarantee of our future performance on certain contracts. Contingent liabilities on outstanding letters of credit agreements and surety bonds aggregated approximately $3,858 and $4,701 as of June 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016 .

Commitments to ULA

We and Lockheed Martin Corporation have each committed to provide ULA with additional capital contributions in the event ULA does not have sufficient funds to make a required payment to us under an inventory supply agreement. As of June 30, 2017 , ULA's total remaining obligation to Boeing under the inventory supply agreement was $120 . See Note 4 .

F/A-18

At June 30, 2017 , our backlog included 23 F/A-18 aircraft under contract with the U.S. Navy. We have begun work or authorized suppliers to begin working on aircraft beyond those already in backlog in anticipation of future orders. At June 30, 2017 , we had $91 of capitalized precontract costs and $999 of potential termination liabilities to suppliers associated with F/A-18 aircraft not yet on order.

United States Government Defense Environment Overview

In May 2017, the U.S. administration submitted its fiscal year 2018 budget request, which calls for funding the U.S. Department of Defense (U.S. DoD) base budget at a level that is $52 billion or 10% above the spending caps in the Budget Control Act of 2011 (The Act). However, The Act, which mandates limits on U.S. government discretionary spending, remains in effect through fiscal year 2021. As a result, continued budget uncertainty and the risk of future sequestration cuts will remain unless The Act is repealed or significantly modified by Congress.

In addition, there continues to be uncertainty with respect to program-level appropriations for the U.S. DoD and other government agencies, including the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA), within the overall budgetary framework described above. Future budget cuts or investment priority changes could result in reductions, cancellations and/or delays of existing contracts or programs. Any of these impacts could have a material effect on the results of the Company's operations, financial position and/or cash flows.

Funding timeliness also remains a risk. If Congress is unable to pass appropriations bills before the beginning of the next fiscal year on October 1, 2017, a government shutdown could result which may have impacts above and beyond those resulting from budget cuts, sequestration impacts or program-level appropriations. For example, requirements to furlough employees in the U.S. DoD or other government agencies could result in payment delays, impair our ability to perform work on existing contracts, and/or negatively impact future orders. Alternatively, Congress may fund fiscal year 2018 by passing one or more Continuing Resolutions; however, this could restrict the execution of certain program activities and delay new programs or competitions.

BDS Fixed-Price Development Contracts

Fixed-price development work is inherently uncertain and subject to significant variability in estimates of the cost and time required to complete the work. BDS fixed-price contracts with significant development work include Commercial Crew, U.S. Air Force ( USAF ) KC-46A Tanker, and commercial and military satellites. The operational and technical complexities of these contracts create financial risk, which could trigger termination provisions, order cancellations or other financially significant exposure. Changes to cost and revenue estimates could result in lower margins or material charges for reach-forward losses. For example, in the first quarter of 2017, we recorded an additional reach-forward loss of $142 on the KC-46A Tanker program. Moreover, this and our other fixed-price development programs remain subject to additional reach-forward losses if we experience further technical or quality issues, schedule delays, or increased costs.

KC-46A Tanker

In 2011, we were awarded a contract from the USAF to design, develop, manufacture and deliver four next generation aerial refueling tankers. This Engineering, Manufacturing and Development (EMD) contract is a fixed-price incentive fee contract valued at $4.9 billion and involves highly complex designs and systems integration. In 2016, the USAF authorized low rate initial production (LRIP) lots for 7 and 12 aircraft valued at $2.8 billion . In January 2017, the USAF authorized an additional LRIP lot for 15 aircraft valued at $2.1 billion . At June 30, 2017 , we had approximately $298 of capitalized precontract costs and $525 of potential termination liabilities to suppliers.

Recoverable Costs on Government Contracts

Our final incurred costs for each year are subject to audit and review for allowability by the U.S. government, which can result in payment demands related to costs they believe should be disallowed. We work with the U.S. government to assess the merits of claims and where appropriate reserve for amounts disputed. If we are unable to satisfactorily resolve disputed costs, we could be required to record an earnings charge and/or provide refunds to the U.S. government.

Table of Contents

Russia/Ukraine

We continue to monitor political unrest involving Russia and Ukraine, where we and some of our suppliers source titanium products and/or have operations. A number of our commercial customers also have operations in Russia and Ukraine. To date, we have not experienced any significant disruptions to production or deliveries. Should suppliers or customers experience disruption, our production and/or deliveries could be materially impacted.

747 Program

Lower-than-expected demand for large commercial passenger and freighter aircraft have continued to drive market uncertainties, pricing pressures and fewer orders than anticipated. We are currently producing at a rate of 0.5 aircraft per month. The program accounting quantity includes aircraft scheduled to be produced through 2019. We continue to have a number of completed aircraft in inventory and we remain focused on obtaining additional orders and implementing cost-reduction efforts. We are currently evaluating several scenarios, including sales campaigns, that may determine how long we continue the 747 program. If we are unable to obtain sufficient orders and/or market, production and other risks cannot be mitigated, we could record additional losses that may be material. Depending on market conditions, it is reasonably possible that we could decide to end production of the 747.

787 Program

The 787 program continued to have near breakeven gross margins. The combination of production challenges, change incorporation on early build aircraft, schedule delays, customer and supplier impacts and changes to price escalation factors has created significant pressure on program profitability. We are continuing to monitor wide-body demand and if sufficient orders do not materialize, we may consider appropriate adjustments to planned production rates. If risks related to these challenges, together with risks associated with planned production rates and productivity improvements, supply chain management, or introducing or manufacturing the 787-10 derivative as scheduled cannot be mitigated, the program could record a reach-forward loss that may be material.

Note 9 – Arrangements with Off-Balance Sheet Risk

We enter into arrangements with off-balance sheet risk in the normal course of business, primarily in the form of guarantees.

The following table provides quantitative data regarding our third party guarantees. The maximum potential payments represent a "worst-case scenario," and do not necessarily reflect amounts that we expect to pay. Estimated proceeds from collateral and recourse represent the anticipated values of assets we could liquidate or receive from other parties to offset our payments under guarantees. The carrying amount of liabilities represents the amount included in Accrued liabilities.



	Maximum Potential Payments				Estimated Proceeds from Collateral/Recourse				Carrying Amount of Liabilities
	June 30 2017		December 31 2016		June 30 2017		December 31 2016		June 30 2017		December 31 2016
Contingent repurchase commitments		$1,374		$1,306		$1,374		$1,306		$10		$9
Indemnifications to ULA:

Contract pricing	261		261						7		7
Other Delta contracts	196		216						5		5
Credit guarantees	111		29		79		27		7		2

Contingent Repurchase Commitments The repurchase price specified in contingent repurchase commitments is generally lower than the expected fair value at the specified repurchase date. Estimated

Table of Contents

proceeds from collateral/recourse in the table above represent the lower of the contracted repurchase price or the expected fair value of each aircraft at the specified repurchase date.

Indemnifications to ULA In 2006, we agreed to indemnify ULA through December 31, 2020 against potential non-recoverability and non-allowability of $1,360 of Boeing Delta launch program inventory included in contributed assets plus $1,860 of inventory subject to an inventory supply agreement which ends on March 31, 2021. Since inception, ULA has consumed $1,288 of the $1,360 of inventory that was contributed by us and has yet to consume $72 . Under the inventory supply agreement, we have recorded revenues and cost of sales of $1,500 through June 30, 2017 . ULA has made payments of $1,740 to us under the inventory supply agreement and we have made $48 of net indemnification payments to ULA.

We agreed to indemnify ULA against potential losses that ULA may incur in the event ULA is unable to obtain certain additional contract pricing from the USAF for four satellite missions. In 2009, ULA filed a complaint before the Armed Services Board of Contract Appeals (ASBCA) for a contract adjustment for the price of two of these missions, followed in 2011 by a subsequent notice of appeal with respect to a third mission. The USAF did not exercise an option for a fourth mission prior to the expiration of the contract. During the second quarter of 2016, the ASBCA ruled that ULA is entitled to additional contract pricing for each of the three missions and remanded to the parties to negotiate appropriate pricing. During the fourth quarter of 2016, the USAF appealed the ASBCA's ruling. In April 2017, the USAF withdrew its appeal. If ULA is ultimately unsuccessful in obtaining additional pricing, we may be responsible for an indemnification payment up to $261 and may record up to $277 in pre-tax losses associated with the three missions.

Potential payments for Other Delta contracts include $85 related to deferred support costs and $91 related to deferred production costs. In June 2011, the Defense Contract Management Agency (DCMA) notified ULA that it had determined that $271 of deferred support costs are not recoverable under government contracts. In December 2011, the DCMA notified ULA of the potential non-recoverability of an additional $114 of deferred production costs. ULA and Boeing believe that all costs are recoverable and in November 2011, ULA filed a certified claim with the USAF for collection of deferred support and production costs. The USAF issued a final decision denying ULA 's certified claim in May 2012. On June 14, 2012, Boeing and ULA filed a suit in the Court of Federal Claims seeking recovery of the deferred support and production costs from the U.S. government. On November 9, 2012, the U.S. government filed an answer to our claim and asserted a counterclaim for credits that it alleges were offset by deferred support cost invoices. We believe that the U.S. government's counterclaim is without merit, and have filed an answer challenging it on multiple grounds. The litigation is in the discovery phase, and the Court has not yet set a trial date. If, contrary to our belief, it is determined that some or all of the deferred support or production costs are not recoverable, we could be required to record pre-tax losses and make indemnification payments to ULA for up to $317 of the costs questioned by the DCMA.

Other Indemnifications In conjunction with our sales of Electron Dynamic Devices, Inc. and Rocketdyne Propulsion and Power businesses and our BCA facilities in Wichita, Kansas and Tulsa and McAlester, Oklahoma, we agreed to indemnify, for an indefinite period, the buyers for costs relating to pre-closing environmental conditions and certain other items. We are unable to assess the potential number of future claims that may be asserted under these indemnifications, nor the amounts thereof (if any). As a result, we cannot estimate the maximum potential amount of future payments under these indemnities and therefore, no liability has been recorded. To the extent that claims have been made under these indemnities and/or are probable and reasonably estimable, liabilities associated with these indemnities are included in the environmental liability disclosure in Note 8 .

Credit Guarantees We have issued credit guarantees where we are obligated to make payments to a guaranteed party in the event that the original lessee or debtor does not make payments or perform certain specified services. Generally, these guarantees have been extended on behalf of guaranteed parties with less than investment-grade credit and are collateralized by certain assets. Current outstanding credit guarantees expire through 2036 .

Note 10 – Debt

On February 16, 2017 , we issued $900 of fixed rate senior notes consisting of $300 due March 1, 2022 that bear an annual interest rate of 2.125% , $300 due March 1, 2027 that bear an annual interest rate of 2.8% , and $300 due March 1, 2047 that bear an annual interest rate of 3.65% . The notes are unsecured senior obligations and rank equally in right of payment with our existing and future unsecured and unsubordinated indebtedness. The net proceeds of the issuance totaled $872 , after deducting underwriting discounts, commissions and offering expenses.

Required pension contributions under the Employee Retirement Income Security Act, as well as rules governing funding of our non-US pension plans, are expected to be minimal in 2017. We plan to make contributions to our pension plans during the third quarter of $500 in cash and $3,500 in Boeing common stock. These contributions would exceed our previously announced plan to contribute approximately $500 to our pension plans in 2017.

On February 27, 2017 , we granted to our executives 523,835 restricted stock units ( RSU s) as part of our long-term incentive program with a grant date fair value of $178.72 per unit. The RSU s granted under this program will vest and settle in common stock (on a one-for-one basis) on the third anniversary of the grant date.

Performance-Based Restricted Stock Units

On February 27, 2017 , we granted to our executives 492,273 performance-based restricted stock units ( PBRSU s) as part of our long-term incentive program with a grant date fair value of $190.17 per unit. Compensation expense for the award is recognized over the three -year performance period based upon the grant date fair value estimated using a Monte-Carlo simulation model. The model used the following assumptions: expected volatility of 21.37% based upon historical stock volatility, a risk-free interest rate of 1.46% , and no expected dividend yield because the units earn dividend equivalents.

Performance Awards

On February 27, 2017 , we granted to our executives performance awards as part of our long-term incentive program with a payout based on the achievement of financial goals for the three -year period ending December 31, 2019 . At June 30, 2017 , the minimum payout amount is $0 and the maximum amount we could be required to pay out is $360 .

These are included in the net periodic pension cost of which a portion is allocated to production as inventoried costs. See Note 17 .

Note 14 – Derivative Financial Instruments

Cash Flow Hedges

Our cash flow hedges include foreign currency forward contracts and commodity purchase contracts. We use foreign currency forward contracts to manage currency risk associated with certain transactions, specifically forecasted sales and purchases made in foreign currencies. Our foreign currency contracts hedge

Table of Contents

forecasted transactions through 2023 . We use commodity derivatives, such as fixed-price purchase commitments to hedge against potentially unfavorable price changes for items used in production. Our commodity contracts hedge forecasted transactions through 2020 .

Fair Value Hedges

Interest rate swaps under which we agree to pay variable rates of interest are designated as fair value hedges of fixed-rate debt. The net change in fair value of the derivatives and the hedged items is reported in Boeing Capital interest expense.

Derivative Instruments Not Receiving Hedge Accounting Treatment

We have entered into agreements to purchase and sell aluminum to address long-term strategic sourcing objectives and international business requirements. These agreements are derivative instruments for accounting purposes. The quantities of aluminum in these agreements offset and are priced at prevailing market prices. We also hold certain foreign currency forward contracts which do not qualify for hedge accounting treatment.

Notional Amounts and Fair Values

The notional amounts and fair values of derivative instruments in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Financial Position were as follows:



	Notional amounts (1)				Other assets						Accrued liabilities
	June 30 2017		December 31 2016		June 30 2017			December 31 2016			June 30 2017			December 31 2016

Based on our portfolio of cash flow hedges, we expect to reclassify losses of $42 (pre-tax) out of Accumulated other comprehensive loss into earnings during the next 12 months. Ineffectiveness related to our hedges recognized in Other income was insignificant for the six and three months ended June 30, 2017 and 2016 .

We have derivative instruments with credit-risk-related contingent features. For foreign exchange contracts with original maturities of at least five years, our derivative counterparties could require settlement if we default on our five-year credit facility. For certain commodity contracts, our counterparties could require collateral posted in an amount determined by our credit ratings. The fair value of foreign exchange and commodity contracts that have credit-risk-related contingent features that are in a net liability position at June 30, 2017 was $27 . At June 30, 2017 , there was no collateral posted related to our derivatives.

Note 15 – Fair Value Measurements

The fair value hierarchy has three levels based on the reliability of the inputs used to determine fair value. Level 1 refers to fair values determined based on quoted prices in active markets for identical assets. Level 2 refers to fair values estimated using significant other observable inputs and Level 3 includes fair values estimated using significant unobservable inputs. The following table presents our assets and liabilities that are measured at fair value on a recurring basis and are categorized using the fair value hierarchy.



	June 30, 2017								December 31, 2016
	Total			Level 1		Level 2			Total			Level 1		Level 2
Assets
Money market funds		$2,016			$2,016					$2,858			$2,858
Available-for-sale investments:
Commercial paper	97						$97		162						$162
Corporate notes	341					341			271					271
U.S. government agencies	61					61			63					63
Other	29			29					46			46
Derivatives	54					54			23					23
Total assets		$2,598			$2,045		$553			$3,423			$2,904		$519
Liabilities
Derivatives		($65	)				($65	)		($202	)				($202	)
Total liabilities		($65	)				($65	)		($202	)				($202	)

Money market funds, available-for-sale debt investments and equity securities are valued using a market approach based on the quoted market prices or broker/dealer quotes of identical or comparable instruments.

Derivatives include foreign currency, commodity and interest rate contracts. Our foreign currency forward contracts are valued using an income approach based on the present value of the forward rate less the contract rate multiplied by the notional amount. Commodity derivatives are valued using an income approach based on the present value of the commodity index prices less the contract rate multiplied by the notional amount. The fair value of our interest rate swaps is derived from a discounted cash flow analysis based on the terms of the contract and the interest rate curve.

Certain assets have been measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis using significant unobservable inputs (Level 3). The following table presents the nonrecurring losses recognized for the six months ended June 30 due to long-lived asset impairment and the fair value and asset classification of the related assets as of the impairment date:



	2017					2016
	Fair Value		Total Losses			Fair Value		Total Losses
Investments	$	1	$	(27	)
Operating lease equipment	65		(16		)	59		(25		)
Property, plant and equipment	8		(2		)			(4		)
Acquired intangible assets	14		(1		)	12		(10		)
Total		$88		($46	)		$71		($39	)

Investments, Property, plant and equipment, and Acquired intangible assets were primarily valued using an income approach based on the discounted cash flows associated with the underlying assets. The fair value of the impaired operating lease equipment is derived by calculating a median collateral value from a consistent group of third party aircraft value publications. The values provided by the third party aircraft publications are derived from their knowledge of market trades and other market factors. Management reviews the

Table of Contents

publications quarterly to assess the continued appropriateness and consistency with market trends. Under certain circumstances, we adjust values based on the attributes and condition of the specific aircraft or equipment, usually when the features or use of the aircraft vary significantly from the more generic aircraft attributes covered by third party publications, or on the expected net sales price for the aircraft.

For Level 3 assets that were measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis during the six months ended June 30, 2017 , the following table presents the fair value of those assets as of the measurement date, valuation techniques and related unobservable inputs of those assets.



	Fair Value		Valuation Technique(s)		Unobservable Input	Range Median or Average
Operating lease equipment	$65		Market approach		Aircraft value publications	$106 - $140 (1) Median $125
		Aircraft condition adjustments		($60) - $0 (2) Net ($60)


(1)	The range represents the sum of the highest and lowest values for all aircraft subject to fair value measurement, according to the third party aircraft valuation publications that we use in our valuation process.


(2)	The negative amount represents the sum for all aircraft subject to fair value measurement, of all downward adjustments based on consideration of individual aircraft attributes and condition. The positive amount represents the sum of all such upward adjustments.

Fair Value Disclosures

The fair values and related carrying values of financial instruments that are not required to be remeasured at fair value on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Financial Position were as follows:



	June 30, 2017
	Carrying Amount			Total Fair Value			Level 1	Level 2			Level 3
Assets
Notes receivable, net	$	884		$	895			$	895
Liabilities
Debt, excluding capital lease obligations	(10,641		)	(12,196		)		(12,095		)	(101	)



	December 31, 2016
	Carrying Amount			Total Fair Value			Level 1	Level 2			Level 3
Assets
Notes receivable, net	$	807		$	803			$	803
Liabilities
Debt, excluding capital lease obligations	(9,815		)	(11,209		)		(11,078		)	(131	)

The fair values of notes receivable are estimated with discounted cash flow analysis using interest rates currently offered on loans with similar terms to borrowers of similar credit quality. The fair value of our debt that is traded in the secondary market is classified as Level 2 and is based on current market yields. For our debt that is not traded in the secondary market, the fair value is classified as Level 2 and is based on our indicative borrowing cost derived from dealer quotes or discounted cash flows. The fair values of our debt classified as Level 3 are based on discounted cash flow models using the implied yield from similar securities. With regard to other financial instruments with off-balance sheet risk, it is not practicable to estimate the fair value of our indemnifications and financing commitments because the amount and timing of those arrangements are uncertain. Items not included in the above disclosures include cash, restricted cash, time deposits and other deposits, commercial paper, money market funds, Accounts receivable, Accounts payable

Table of Contents

and long-term payables. The carrying values of those items, as reflected in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Financial Position, approximate their fair value at June 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016 . The fair value of assets and liabilities whose carrying value approximates fair value is determined using Level 2 inputs, with the exception of cash (Level 1).

Note 16 – Legal Proceedings

Various legal proceedings, claims and investigations related to products, contracts, employment and other matters are pending against us.

In addition, we are subject to various U.S. government inquiries and investigations from which civil, criminal or administrative proceedings could result or have resulted in the past. Such proceedings involve or could involve claims by the government for fines, penalties, compensatory and treble damages, restitution and/or forfeitures. Under government regulations, a company, or one or more of its operating divisions or subdivisions, can also be suspended or debarred from government contracts, or lose its export privileges, based on the results of investigations. We believe, based upon current information, that the outcome of any such legal proceeding, claim, or government dispute and investigation will not have a material effect on our financial position, results of operations, or cash flows.

Note 17 – Segment Information

Our primary profitability measurements to review a segment's operating results are Earnings from operations and operating margins. See page 6 for a Summary of Business Segment Data, which is an integral part of this note.

In November 2016, we announced plans for the formation of Boeing Global Services (BGS), which brings together certain Commercial Aviation Services businesses, currently included in BCA , and certain BDS businesses (primarily those currently included in the Global Services & Support segment). Boeing Global Services became operational on July 1, 2017. Beginning in the third quarter of 2017, we expect to have discrete financial information and plan to report results using the new segment structure of four principal segments: BCA, BDS, BGS, and BCC.

Intersegment revenues, eliminated in Unallocated items, eliminations and other, are shown in the following table.



	Six months ended June 30				Three months ended June 30

Unallocated Pension and Other Postretirement Benefit Expense

Unallocated pension and other postretirement benefit expense represent the portion of pension and other postretirement benefit costs that are not recognized by business segments for segment reporting purposes. Pension costs, comprising GAAP service and prior service costs, are allocated to BCA . Pension costs are allocated to BDS using U.S. Government Cost Accounting Standards ( CAS ), which employ different actuarial assumptions and accounting conventions than GAAP . These costs are allocable to government contracts. Other postretirement benefit costs are allocated to business segments based on CAS , which is generally based on benefits paid.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

To the Board of Directors and Shareholders of

The Boeing Company

Chicago, Illinois

We have reviewed the accompanying condensed consolidated statement of financial position of The Boeing Company and subsidiaries (the "Company") as of June 30, 2017 , and the related condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income for the three-month and six-month periods ended June 30, 2017 and 2016 and the related condensed consolidated statements of cash flows and equity for the six-month periods ended June 30, 2017 and 2016 . These interim financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management.

We conducted our reviews in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). A review of interim financial information consists principally of applying analytical procedures and making inquiries of persons responsible for financial and accounting matters. It is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States), the objective of which is the expression of an opinion regarding the financial statements taken as a whole. Accordingly, we do not express such an opinion.

Based on our reviews, we are not aware of any material modifications that should be made to such condensed consolidated interim financial statements for them to be in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

We have previously audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States), the consolidated statement of financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2016 , and the related consolidated statements of operations, comprehensive income, equity, and cash flows for the year then ended (not presented herein); and in our report dated February 8, 2017, we expressed an unqualified opinion on those consolidated financial statements. In our opinion, the information set forth in the accompanying condensed consolidated statement of financial position as of December 31, 2016 is fairly stated, in all material respects, in relation to the consolidated statement of financial position from which it has been derived.

Revenues

The following table summarizes Revenues:



(Dollars in millions)	Six months ended June 30				Three months ended June 30
	2017		2016		2017		2016
Commercial Airplanes		$30,018		$31,855		$15,713		$17,456

Total		$43,715		$47,387		$22,739		$24,755

Revenues for the six and three months ended June 30, 2017 decreased by $3,672 million and $2,016 million compared with the same periods in 2016 . Commercial Airplanes ( BCA ) revenues for the six and three months ended June 30, 2017 decreased by $1,837 million and $1,743 million primarily due to fewer deliveries. Defense, Space & Security ( BDS ) revenues decreased by $1,712 million and $288 million due to lower revenues in all three segments. The change in unallocated items and eliminations primarily reflects the timing of eliminations for intercompany aircraft deliveries.

Earnings From Operations

The following table summarizes Earnings from operations:



(Dollars in millions)	Six months ended June 30						Three months ended June 30
	2017			2016			2017			2016
Commercial Airplanes		$2,782			$60			$1,567			($973	)
Defense, Space & Security	1,627			1,415			890			593
Boeing Capital	64			23			25			18
Unallocated pension and other postretirement benefit income	638			163			323			69

Core operating earnings/(loss) (Non-GAAP)		$3,921			$1,206			$2,212			($488	)

Earnings from operations for the six and three months ended June 30, 2017 increased by $3,190 million and $2,954 million compared with the same periods in 2016 , primarily due to higher earnings at BCA and BDS and higher unallocated pension income, which more than offset other unallocated items and eliminations. BCA's current period earnings reflect lower reach-forward losses on the KC-46A Tanker program, as well as the absence of 747 program reach-forward losses and reclassification of 787 flight test aircraft inventory costs of $1,235 million to research and development expense.

During the six and three months ended June 30, 2016 we recorded reach-forward losses of $1,258 million and $1,188 million related to the 747 program at BCA . Earnings from operations for the six months ended June 30, 2017 included reach-forward losses related to the KC-46A Tanker program of $142 million recorded in the first quarter of 2017. During the six months ended June 30, 2016 , we recorded reach-forward losses of $816 million on the KC-46A Tanker program of which $516 million was recorded at BCA and $300 million at our Boeing Military Aircraft (BMA) segment. During the three months ended June 30, 2016 , we recorded reach-forward losses on the KC-46A Tanker program of $573 million of which $354 million was recorded at BCA and $219 million at our BMA segment.

Core operating earnings for the six and three months ended June 30, 2017 increased by $2,715 million and $2,700 million compared with the same periods in 2016 primarily due to lower reach-forward losses and the absence of the 787 flight test aircraft reclassification.

* Core operating earnings is a Non-GAAP measure that excludes certain components of pension and postretirement benefit expense. See page 46 .

The deferred compensation expense increased by $91 million and $25 million for the six and three months ended June 30, 2017 compared with the same periods in 2016 primarily driven by changes in our stock price and broad market conditions.

Eliminations and other unallocated items increased by $164 million and $112 million for the six and three months ended June 30, 2017 compared with the same periods in 2016 primarily due to the timing of expense allocations and the elimination of profit on intercompany aircraft deliveries.

The components of net periodic benefit cost are shown in the following table:



(Dollars in millions)	Six months ended June 30						Three months ended June 30
Pension Plans	2017			2016			2017			2016

Total Costs and Expenses ("Cost of Sales")

Cost of sales, for both products and services, consists primarily of raw materials, parts, sub-assemblies, labor, overhead and subcontracting costs. Our BCA segment predominantly uses program accounting to account for cost of sales and BDS predominantly uses contract accounting. Under program accounting, cost of sales for each commercial airplane program equals the product of (i) revenue recognized in connection with customer deliveries and (ii) the estimated cost of sales percentage applicable to the total remaining program. Under contract accounting, the amount reported as cost of sales is determined by applying the estimated cost of sales percentage to the amount of revenue recognized. The following table summarizes cost of sales:



(Dollars in millions)	Six months ended June 30									Three months ended June 30
	2017			2016			Change			2017			2016			Change
Cost of sales		$35,652			$41,422			($5,770	)		$18,388			$22,325			($3,937	)
Cost of sales as a % of Revenues	81.6		%	87.4		%	(5.8		%)	80.9		%	90.2		%	(9.3		)%

Cost of sales for the six and three months ended June 30, 2017 decreased by $5,770 million , or 13.9% , and by $3,937 million or 17.6% compared with the same periods in 2016 , primarily due to lower volume and lower reach-forward losses.

Research and Development The following table summarizes our Research and development expense:



(Dollars in millions)	Six months ended June 30						Three months ended June 30
	2017			2016			2017			2016
Commercial Airplanes		$1,238			$2,548			$602			$1,877

Other	(22		)	(25		)	(11		)	(13		)
Total		$1,651			$3,044			$813			$2,127

Research and development expense for the six and three months ended June 30, 2017 decreased by $1,393 million and $1,314 million compared with the same periods in 2016 primarily due to the reclassification of $1,235 million of costs from inventory in the second quarter of 2016 related to the fourth and fifth 787 flight test aircraft and lower spending at BCA on the 737 MAX and 787-10.

Backlog



(Dollars in millions)	June 30 2017		December 31 2016
Total contractual backlog		$467,601		$458,277
Unobligated backlog	14,561		15,215

Contractual backlog of unfilled orders excludes purchase options, announced orders for which definitive contracts have not been executed, and unobligated U.S. and non-U.S. government contract funding. The increase in contractual backlog during the six months ended June 30, 2017 compared with December 31, 2016 was primarily due to orders and funding in excess of deliveries.

Unobligated backlog includes U.S. and non-U.S. government definitive contracts for which funding has not been authorized. The unobligated backlog of $14,561 million at June 30, 2017 decrease d from December 31, 2016 , primarily due to decreases of $1,661 million and $1,055 million at N&SS and GS&S, partially offset by an increase of $1,846 million at BMA.

Additional Considerations

KC-46A Tanker In 2011, we were awarded a contract from the U.S. Air Force ( USAF ) to design, develop, manufacture and deliver four next generation aerial refueling tankers. The KC-46A Tanker is a derivative of our 767 commercial aircraft. This Engineering, Manufacturing and Development (EMD) contract is a fixed-price incentive fee contract valued at $4.9 billion and involves highly complex designs and systems integration. The EMD contract is currently in the certification and flight testing phases. In 2015, we began work on low rate initial production (LRIP) aircraft for the USAF. During the third quarter of 2016, following our achievement of key flight testing milestones, the USAF authorized two LRIP lots for 7 and 12 aircraft valued at $2.8 billion. On January 27, 2017, the USAF authorized an additional LRIP lot for 15 aircraft valued at $2.1 billion. If all options under the contract are exercised, we expect to deliver 179 aircraft for a total expected contract value of approximately $30 billion. The first tanker delivery is expected to occur in late 2017 with 18 fully operational aircraft to be delivered in early 2018.

During 2016, we recorded reach-forward losses of $1,128 million related to the EMD contract and LRIP aircraft. During the first quarter of 2017, we recorded further reach-forward losses of $142 million primarily reflecting higher estimated costs associated with certification and incorporating changes into LRIP aircraft. As with any development program, this program remains subject to additional reach-forward losses or delivery delays if we experience further production, technical or quality issues, delays in certification and/or flight testing.

Russia/Ukraine We continue to monitor political unrest involving Russia and Ukraine, where we and some of our suppliers source titanium products and/or have operations. A number of our commercial customers also have operations in Russia and Ukraine. To date, we have not experienced any significant disruptions to production or deliveries. Should suppliers or customers experience disruption, our production and/or deliveries could be materially impacted.

Export-Import Bank of the United States Many of our non-U.S. customers finance purchases through the Export-Import Bank of the United States. Following the expiration of the bank's charter on June 30, 2015, the bank's charter was reauthorized in December 2015. The bank is now authorized through September 30, 2019. However, until the U.S. Senate confirms members sufficient to reconstitute a quorum of the bank's board of directors, the bank will not be able to approve any transaction totaling more than $10 million. As a result, we may fund additional commitments and/or enter into new financing arrangements with customers. Certain of our non-U.S. customers also may seek to delay purchases if they cannot obtain financing at reasonable costs, and there may be further impacts with respect to future sales campaigns involving non-U.S. customers. We continue to work with our customers to mitigate risks associated with the lack of a quorum of the bank's board of directors and assist with alternative third party financing sources.

Earnings From Operations

Earnings from operations for the six and three months ended June 30, 2017 increased by $2,722 million and $2,540 million compared with the same periods in 2016 primarily due to lower reach-forward losses and lower research and development costs, which more than offset the impact of fewer deliveries. Reach-forward losses for the six and three months ended June 30, 2016 include $1,258 million and $1,188 million related to the 747 program and $516 million and $354 million related to KC-46A Tanker. Research and development expense in the second quarter of 2016 reflects the reclassification from inventory of $1,235 million related to the fourth and fifth 787 flight test aircraft.

Backlog

The increase in contractual backlog during the six months ended June 30, 2017 was due to orders in excess of deliveries.

Program Highlights

737 Program The accounting quantity for the 737 program increased by 200 units during the three months ended June 30, 2017 and by 400 units during the six months ended June 30, 2017 due to the program's normal progress of obtaining additional orders and delivering airplanes. We are currently producing at a rate of 42 per month and plan to increase to 47 per month in the third quarter of 2017. We plan to further increase the rate to 52 per month in 2018 and to 57 per month in 2019. We delivered the first 737 MAX in May 2017 and announced the launch of the 737-10 in June 2017.

747 Program Lower-than-expected demand for large commercial passenger and freighter aircraft have continued to drive market uncertainties, pricing pressures and fewer orders than anticipated. We are currently producing at a rate of 0.5 aircraft per month. The program accounting quantity includes aircraft scheduled to be produced through 2019. We continue to have a number of completed aircraft in inventory and we remain focused on obtaining additional orders and implementing cost-reduction efforts. We are currently evaluating several scenarios, including sales campaigns, that may determine how long we continue the 747 program. If we are unable to obtain sufficient orders and/or market, production and other risks cannot be mitigated, we could record additional losses that may be material. Depending on market conditions, it is reasonably possible that we could decide to end production of the 747.

767 Program The 767 assembly line includes a 767 derivative to support the tanker program. The combined tanker and commercial production rate is currently 2 aircraft per month and we plan to increase to 2.5 per month in the third quarter of 2017.

777 Program We implemented a planned production rate decrease from 8.3 per month to 7 per month during the first quarter of 2017. We plan to further reduce the rate to 5 per month in the second half of 2017. In the fourth quarter of 2013, we launched the 777X, which features a new composite wing, new engines and folding wing-tips. The 777X will have a separate program accounting quantity, which will be determined in the year of first airplane delivery, targeted for 2020.

787 Program We are currently producing at a rate of 12 per month and plan to increase to 14 per month by the end of the decade. First delivery of the 787-10 derivative aircraft is targeted for 2018.

We remain focused on improving productivity and obtaining additional orders to support planned production. We continue to monitor and address challenges associated with aircraft production and assembly, including management of our manufacturing operations and extended global supply chain, completion and integration of traveled work, as well as completing and delivering early build aircraft.

The combination of production challenges, change incorporation on early build aircraft, schedule delays, customer and supplier impacts and changes to price escalation factors has created significant pressure on program profitability and we continue to have near breakeven gross margins. We are continuing to monitor wide body demand and if sufficient orders do not materialize, we may consider appropriate adjustments to the planned production rate increase. If risks related to these challenges, together with risks associated with the planned production rate and productivity improvements, supply chain management or introducing or manufacturing the 787-10 derivative as scheduled cannot be mitigated, the program could face further pressures on program profitability and/or a reach-forward loss. We continue to implement mitigation plans and cost-reduction efforts to improve program profitability and address program risks.

Additional Considerations

The development and ongoing production of commercial aircraft is extremely complex, involving extensive coordination and integration with suppliers and highly-skilled labor from thousands of employees and other partners. Meeting or exceeding our performance and reliability standards, as well as those of customers and regulators, can be costly and technologically challenging. In addition, the introduction of new aircraft and derivatives, such as the 787-10, 737 MAX and 777X, involves increased risks associated with meeting development, production and certification schedules. As a result, our ability to deliver aircraft on time, satisfy

Table of Contents

performance and reliability standards and achieve or maintain, as applicable, program profitability is subject to significant risks. Factors that could result in lower margins (or a material charge if an airplane program has or is determined to have reach-forward losses) include the following: changes to the program accounting quantity, customer and model mix, production costs and rates, changes to price escalation factors due to changes in the inflation rate or other economic indicators, performance or reliability issues involving completed aircraft, capital expenditures and other costs associated with increasing or adding new production capacity, learning curve, additional change incorporation, achieving anticipated cost reductions, flight test and certification schedules, costs, schedule and demand for new airplanes and derivatives and status of customer claims, supplier assertions and other contractual negotiations. While we believe the cost and revenue estimates incorporated in the consolidated financial statements are appropriate, the technical complexity of our airplane programs creates financial risk as additional completion costs may become necessary or scheduled delivery dates could be extended, which could trigger termination provisions, order cancellations or other financially significant exposure.

Defense, Space & Security

Business Environment and Trends

United States Government Defense Environment Overview In May 2017, the U.S. administration submitted its fiscal year 2018 budget request, which calls for funding the U.S. Department of Defense (U.S. DoD) base budget at a level that is $52 billion or 10% above the spending caps in the Budget Control Act of 2011 (The Act). However, The Act, which mandates limits on U.S. government discretionary spending, remains in effect through fiscal year 2021. As a result, continued budget uncertainty and the risk of future sequestration cuts will remain unless The Act is repealed or significantly modified by Congress.

Since our operating cycle is long-term and involves many different types of development and production contracts with varying delivery and milestone schedules, the operating results of a particular period may not be indicative of future operating results. In addition, depending on the customer and their funding sources, our orders might be structured as annual follow-on contracts, or as one large multi-year order or long-term award. As a result, period-to-period comparisons of backlog are not necessarily indicative of future workloads. The following discussions of comparative results among periods should be viewed in this context.

Deliveries of units for new-build production aircraft, including remanufactures and modifications, were as follows:

Revenues

BDS revenues for the six and three months ended June 30, 2017 decreased by $1,712 million and $288 million compared with the same periods in 2016 due to lower revenues in all three segments.

Earnings From Operations

BDS earnings from operations for the six months ended June 30, 2017 increased by $212 million compared with the same period in 2016 , due to higher earnings of $194 million and $ 69 million in the BMA and Global Services & Support (GS&S) segments, partially offset by lower earnings of $51 million in the Network & Space Systems (N&SS) segment.

BDS earnings from operations for the three months ended June 30, 2017 increased by $297 million compared with the same period in 2016 due to higher earnings of $207 million and $91 million in the BMA and GS&S segments.

Backlog

BDS total backlog was $58,340 million at June 30, 2017 , reflecting an increase of 2% from December 31, 2016 , primarily due to increases of $ 2,814 million and $646 million at BMA and GS&S, partially offset by a decrease of $2,254 million in our N&SS segment.

For further details on the changes between periods, refer to the discussions of the individual segments below.

Additional Considerations

Our BDS business includes a variety of development programs which have complex design and technical challenges. Many of these programs have cost-type contracting arrangements. In these cases, the associated financial risks are primarily in reduced fees, lower profit rates or program cancellation if cost, schedule or technical performance issues arise. Examples of these programs include Ground-based Midcourse Defense , Proprietary and Space Launch System programs.

Table of Contents

Some of our development programs are contracted on a fixed-price basis. Many of these programs have highly complex designs. As technical or quality issues arise during development, we may experience schedule delays and cost impacts, which could increase our estimated cost to perform the work or reduce our estimated price, either of which could result in a material charge or otherwise adversely affect our financial condition. These programs are ongoing, and while we believe the cost and fee estimates incorporated in the financial statements are appropriate, the technical complexity of these programs creates financial risk as additional completion costs may become necessary or scheduled delivery dates could be extended, which could trigger termination provisions, the loss of satellite in-orbit incentive payments, or other financially significant exposure. These programs have risk for reach-forward losses if our estimated costs exceed our estimated contract revenues. Examples of significant fixed-price development programs include USAF KC-46A Tanker, Commercial Crew and commercial and military satellites.

Revenue and cost estimates for all significant contracts are reviewed and reassessed quarterly. Changes in these estimates could result in recognition of cumulative catch-up adjustments to the contract's inception-to-date revenues, cost of sales and profit, in the period in which such changes are made. Changes in revenue and cost estimates could also result in a reach-forward loss or an adjustment to a reach-forward loss, which would be recorded immediately in earnings. Net cumulative catch-up adjustments to prior years' earnings, including reach-forward losses, across all contracts were as follows:

BMA revenues for the three months ended June 30, 2017 decreased by $75 million compared with the same period in 2016 primarily due to fewer C-17 deliveries, partially offset by higher volume and mix on several programs.

Earnings From Operations

BMA earnings from operations for the six and three months ended June 30, 2017 increased by $194 million and $207 million compared with the same periods in 2016 primarily due to lower charges on the KC-46A Tanker program, partially offset by fewer C-17 deliveries.

Table of Contents

Net favorable cumulative contract catch-up adjustments, including reach-forward losses, in the six and three months ended June 30, 2017 were $160 million and $82 million , primarily due to vertical lift and F-15 programs. Net unfavorable adjustments were $209 million and $157 million in the six and three months ended June 30, 2016 primarily due to KC-46A Tanker charges of $300 million and $219 million .

Backlog

Revenues

N&SS revenues for the six months ended June 30, 2017 decreased by $307 million compared with the same period in 2016, primarily due to lower volume on the Commercial Crew program, timing of commercial satellite milestones, and lower proprietary program volume.

N&SS revenues for the three months ended June 30, 2017 decreased by $136 million compared with the same period in 2016 , primarily due to the timing of commercial satellite milestones and lower volume on proprietary and Commercial Crew programs.

Earnings From Operations

N&SS earnings from operations for the six months ended June 30, 2017 decreased by $51 million compared with the same period in 2016 , primarily due to lower performance on commercial satellite programs and lower earnings related to our United Launch Alliance (ULA) joint venture.

N&SS earnings from operations for the three months ended June 30, 2017 and 2016 were consistent primarily due to lower earnings related to ULA , partially offset by higher performance on a development program.

Net favorable cumulative contract catch-up adjustments increased earnings by $35 million and $54 million during the six and three months ended June 30, 2017 compared with net unfavorable adjustments in the comparable prior year periods of $21 million and $35 million which were primarily driven by a development program.

Table of Contents

N&SS earnings from operations include equity earnings of $113 million and $37 million for the six and three months ended June 30, 2017 compared with $129 million and $88 million for the same periods in 2016 , primarily from our ULA joint venture. ULA earnings in 2017 are lower than the prior year, primarily due to launch timing and the absence of favorable cumulative contract catch-up adjustments recorded in 2016.

Backlog

N&SS total backlog of $11,093 million at June 30, 2017 decrease d by 17% compared with December 31, 2016 . Current year contract awards more than offset revenue recognized on contracts awarded in prior years. However, adjustments to unobligated backlog recorded in 2017, related to prior years, resulted in a net decrease to total backlog.

Revenues

Boeing Capital ( BCC ) segment revenues consist principally of lease income from equipment under operating lease, interest income from financing receivables and notes, and other income. BCC 's revenues for the six months ended June 30, 2017 increased by $16 million compared with the same period in 2016 primarily due to higher interest income driven by a larger portfolio during 2017. BCC 's revenues for the three months ended June 30, 2017 decreased by $12 million compared with the same period in 2016 primarily due to lower end-of-lease settlement payments.

Earnings From Operations

BCC 's earnings from operations are presented net of interest expense, provision for (recovery of) losses, asset impairment expense, depreciation on leased equipment and other operating expenses. Earnings from operations for the six months ended June 30, 2017 increased by $41 million compared with the same period in 2016 , primarily due to lower impairment expenses and higher revenues. Earnings from operations for the three months ended June 30, 2017 increased by $7 million compared with the same period in 2016 , primarily due to lower impairment expenses which more than offset lower end of lease settlement payments.

Financial Position

Operating Activities Net cash provided by operating activities was $7.0 billion during the six months ended June 30, 2017 , compared with $4.5 billion during the same period in 2016 . The increase was primarily driven by changes in working capital with higher advances more than offsetting inventory increases. Advances and progress billings increased by $4.9 billion during the six months ended June 30, 2017 and decreased by $1.2 billion during the same period in 2016 . Gross inventories increased by $2.3 billion during the six months ended June 30, 2017 , driven by continued investment in commercial airplane program inventory. Gross inventories decreased by $3.4 billion during the same period in 2016 , primarily driven by the reclassification of 787 flight test aircraft and reach-forward losses recorded on our 747 program which did not affect 2016 operating cash flows.

Required pension contributions under the Employee Retirement Income Security Act, as well as rules governing funding of our non-US pension plans, are expected to be minimal in 2017. We plan to make contributions to our pension plans during the third quarter of $ 0.5 billion in cash and $3.5 billion in Boeing common stock. These contributions would exceed our previously announced plan to contribute approximately $0.5 billion to our pension plans in 2017.

Investing Activities Cash used by investing activities was $1.4 billion during the six months ended June 30, 2017 , consistent with the prior year. Net contributions to investments were $0.4 billion in 2017 and insignificant in 2016 . In the six months ended June 30, 2017 , capital expenditures totaled $0.9 billion , down from $1.4 billion during the same period in 2016 . We expect capital expenditures in 2017 to be lower than 2016 .

Financing Activities Cash used by financing activities was $5.8 billion , consistent with the prior year. During the six months ended June 30, 2017 , we issued $0.9 billion of debt compared with $1.3 billion in the same period in 2016 . At June 30, 2017 , the recorded balance of debt was $10.8 billion , of which $0.7 billion was classified as short-term. This included $3.0 billion of debt attributable to BCC , of which $0.9 billion was classified as short-term.

Table of Contents

During the six months ended June 30, 2017 we repurchased 28.5 million shares totaling $5.0 billion through our open market share repurchase program. In addition, 0.6 million shares were transferred to us from employees for tax withholdings. At June 30, 2017 , the amount available under the share repurchase plan, announced on December 12, 2016, totaled $9.0 billion .

Capital Resources We have substantial borrowing capacity. Any future borrowings may affect our credit ratings and are subject to various debt covenants as described below. We have a commercial paper program that continues to serve as a significant potential source of short-term liquidity. Throughout the six months ended June 30, 2017 , we had no commercial paper borrowings outstanding. Currently, we have $5.0 billion of unused borrowing capacity on revolving credit line agreements. We anticipate that these credit lines will primarily serve as backup liquidity to support our general corporate borrowing needs.

Financing commitments totaled $13.5 billion and $14.8 billion at June 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016 . We anticipate that we will not be required to fund a significant portion of our financing commitments as we continue to work with third party financiers to provide alternative financing to customers. Historically, we have not been required to fund significant amounts of outstanding commitments. However, there can be no assurances that we will not be required to fund greater amounts than historically required. In addition, many of our non-U.S. customers finance aircraft purchases through the Export-Import Bank of the United States. Following the expiration of the bank's charter on June 30, 2015, the bank's charter was reauthorized in December 2015. The bank is now authorized through September 30, 2019. However, until the U.S. Senate confirms members sufficient to reconstitute a quorum of the bank's board of directors, the bank will not be able to approve any transaction totaling more than $10 million. As a result, we may fund additional commitments and/or enter into new financing arrangements with customers.

In the event we require additional funding to support strategic business opportunities, our commercial aircraft financing commitments, unfavorable resolution of litigation or other loss contingencies, or other business requirements, we expect to meet increased funding requirements by issuing commercial paper or term debt. We believe our ability to access external capital resources should be sufficient to satisfy existing short-term and long-term commitments and plans, and also to provide adequate financial flexibility to take advantage of potential strategic business opportunities should they arise within the next year. However, there can be no assurance of the cost or availability of future borrowings, if any, under our commercial paper program, in the debt markets or our credit facilities.

At June 30, 2017 , we were in compliance with the covenants for our debt and credit facilities. The most restrictive covenants include a limitation on mortgage debt and sale and leaseback transactions as a percentage of consolidated net tangible assets (as defined in the credit agreements), and a limitation on consolidated debt as a percentage of total capital (as defined). When considering debt covenants, we continue to have substantial borrowing capacity.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

We are a party to certain off-balance sheet arrangements including certain guarantees. For discussion of these arrangements, see Note 9 to our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

Contingent Obligations

We have significant contingent obligations that arise in the ordinary course of business, which include the following:

Legal Various legal proceedings, claims and investigations are pending against us. Legal contingencies are discussed in Note 16 to our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

Environmental Remediation We are involved with various environmental remediation activities and have recorded a liability of $520 million at June 30, 2017 . For additional information, see Note 8 to our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

Non-GAAP Measures

Core Operating Earnings, Core Operating Margin and Core Earnings Per Share

Our unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements are prepared in accordance with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles in the United States of America (GAAP) which we supplement with certain non-GAAP financial information. 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. Core operating earnings, core operating margin and core earnings per share exclude the impact of certain pension and other postretirement benefit expenses that are not allocated to business segments. Pension costs, comprising service and prior service costs computed in accordance with GAAP are allocated to BCA . Pension costs allocated to BDS segments 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. The unallocated pension costs recognized in earnings was a benefit of $533 million and $278 million for the six and three months ended June 30, 2017 compared with $79 million and $34 million for the same periods in 2016 . The higher 2017 benefit reflects the amortization of pension benefits capitalized as inventory in prior years.

For further discussion of pension and other postretirement costs see the Management's Discussion and Analysis on page 32 of this Form 10-Q and on page 46 of our 2016 Annual Report on Form 10-K. 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 unallocated pension and other postretirement benefit cost, primarily represent costs driven by market factors and costs not allocable to U.S. government contracts.
