The Boeing Company's (NYSE: BA) second-quarter earnings per share decreased 14 percent to $1.16 per share, on revenue of $17.0 billion and an operating margin of 7.4 percent. Results were affected by the previously disclosed charge for the Airborne Early Warning & Control (AEW&C) program and lower profitability due to mix and timing in Commercial Airplanes, partially offset by lower centralized costs (Table 1).

For the first half of 2008, revenue grew 2 percent to $33.0 billion, operating margin grew to 9.2 percent, net income rose 7 percent to $2.1 billion, and earnings per share increased 13 percent to $2.79 per share, despite the AEW&C charge. Results reflected good performance in the company's core businesses and lower unallocated costs.

Boeing reaffirmed its 2008 earnings per share guidance of between $5.70 and $5.85 as well as its 2009 earnings per share guidance of between $6.80 and $7.00.

"While we faced some challenges this quarter that affected our results, we remain confident in our outlook for the remainder of this year and 2009," said Chairman, President and CEO Jim McNerney. "Strong global demand for our products and services, a record backlog, and a sustained focus on productivity improvement and execution will continue to drive growth and profitability for this company."

Second-quarter operating cash flow was ($0.3) billion, reflecting a planned increase in working capital requirements, mostly inventory for 787 (Table 2). First-half operating cash flow was $1.7 billion, and free cash flow* was $0.9 billion. Total company backlog at quarter-end was $346 billion, up 6 percent year-to-date driven by commercial airplane orders.

Cash and investments in marketable securities totaled $10.2 billion at quarter-end, down from the end of the first quarter but essentially unchanged from the same period last year (Table 3). During the quarter, the company returned $1.2 billion to shareholders by repurchasing 11.0 million shares for $859 million and paying $300 million in dividends. Share repurchases in the first half totaled $2.1 billion for 26.6 million shares.

  Segment Results
  Commercial Airplanes

Boeing Commercial Airplanes (BCA) second-quarter revenues were $8.6 billion, 2 percent below the same period last year, driven by customer and model mix and lower aircraft trading revenues, partially offset by higher delivery unit volume (Table 4). Operating earnings were $777 million versus $960 million in the year ago period due to customer and model mix, as well as timing of period expenses and infrastructure costs absorbed by the production programs due to the 787 schedule push-out announced in April.

For the first half, BCA revenues rose 3 percent to $16.7 billion on higher deliveries partially offset by lower aircraft trading volume and customer mix. Operating earnings grew 6 percent to $1.8 billion while margins expanded to 10.5 percent driven by higher deliveries and lower R&D, partially offset by higher period expenses, and the infrastructure cost absorption noted above.

BCA booked 187 gross orders during the quarter and 476 during the first half. Contractual backlog rose to a record $275 billion, increasing 8 percent year-to-date to nearly eight times BCA's annual revenues.

Progress on the new 787 Dreamliner continues on the revised schedule announced in April. Having completed the power-on milestone, the program is in the final stages of assembly of the first airplane in preparation for flight test. While Boeing continues to address challenges associated with assembly of the initial airplanes, the program has achieved meaningful improvements in the completeness of structure and systems installation. The company completed its acquisition of a 50 percent equity interest in Global Aeronautica which will allow Boeing to exercise greater operational control of this key 787 integration facility. The risks that are always inherent in the latter stages of new airplane program production still remain. The company expects the first flight of the 787 to occur in the fourth quarter of 2008 with first delivery in the third quarter of 2009. To date, the program has won orders for 896 airplanes from 58 customers.

Integrated Defense Systems

Boeing Integrated Defense Systems (IDS) reported second-quarter revenue of $7.9 billion, virtually unchanged from last year. Operating earnings were $637 million and were affected by the previously disclosed $248 million charge on the AEW&C program. This charge reduced IDS operating margins by 3.2 points to 8.0 percent.

For the first half, IDS revenue declined slightly to $15.5 billion, operating earnings declined 9 percent to $1.5 billion and operating margins declined to 9.7 percent, reduced 1.6 points by the charge.

Precision Engagement & Mobility Systems, which was just renamed Boeing Military Aircraft, reported second-quarter revenues slightly lower at $3.3 billion because of fewer aircraft deliveries. Although overall production program performance was strong, the operating margins were 4.9 percent for the quarter due to the charge noted above which reduced margins by 7.5 points.

For the quarter, revenues in Network & Space Systems declined slightly to $2.8 billion on lower Proprietary volume. Operating margins of 8.5 percent were due to solid performance across the segment's broad array of programs partially offset by lower Proprietary earnings. N&SS achieved significant milestones on several key programs in the quarter including Future Combat Systems' successful completion of the Joint Expeditionary Force Experiment.

Support Systems again generated strong growth and profitability on its broad portfolio of services and logistics programs. Revenues rose 11 percent to $1.8 billion on growth in integrated logistics and aircraft modifications. Operating earnings rose 24 percent to $240 million, and the operating margin grew to 13.1 percent on solid program execution, productivity improvements and contract mix.

The IDS backlog at quarter-end was $71.3 billion, down from the beginning of the quarter reflecting current-period revenues that exceeded new orders. Significant new awards in the quarter included a follow-on Republic of Korea contract for F-15Ks, KC-135 Programmed Depot Maintenance and a significant Proprietary contract.

Boeing Capital Corporation

Boeing Capital Corporation (BCC) reported second-quarter pre-tax earnings of $45 million down from $70 million in the same period last year which included a larger portfolio (Table 6). In the Other segment, the company also increased aircraft financing reserves by $82 million. BCC's portfolio balance at the end of the quarter was $6.2 billion, down from $6.5 billion at the beginning of the year primarily on normal portfolio run-off and depreciation. BCC contributed $39 million in cash dividends to Boeing during the quarter and $74 million in the first half. BCC's debt-to-equity ratio remained steady at 5.0-to-1.

  Additional Information

The "Other" segment consists primarily of Boeing Engineering, Operations and Technology as well as certain results related to the consolidation of all business units. Other segment expense was $135 million in the second quarter, up from $66 million in the same period last year due to the increased aircraft financing reserves noted above.

Unallocated expense was $77 million, down from $313 million last year. Share-based plans expense was $118 million lower due to acceleration of expense in the year-ago quarter. Deferred compensation expense was $73 million lower due to changes in Boeing stock price and broad stock market conditions. Unallocated pension expense was lower by $65 million.

Total pension expense was $216 million, down from $251 million in the same quarter last year, of which $76 million was recorded in unallocated expense and the balance was recorded as expense in the business segments.

Outlook

The financial guidance issued in April is unchanged, other than an adjustment between IDS segment margins that is referenced below. The guidance reflects expectations for strong business performance in BCA and IDS, increasing commercial airplane deliveries, decreasing investment in new airplane development, and company-wide productivity gains.

Boeing's 2008 revenue guidance is $67 billion to $68 billion. For 2009, the company expects revenues between $72 billion and $73 billion. Earnings-per-share guidance for 2008 is reaffirmed at $5.70 to $5.85 per share while EPS guidance for 2009 remains at $6.80 to $7.00 per share. For 2008 operating cash flow is expected to be greater than $2.5 billion, increasing to more than $6 billion in 2009.

Commercial Airplanes' 2008 delivery guidance remains between 475 and 480 airplanes and is sold out. BCA revenue guidance for 2008 remains $34.5 billion to $35 billion, and operating margin guidance is approximately 11.5 percent, as the mix and expense timing issues experienced in the second quarter are addressed in the second half of the year. In 2009 BCA expects to deliver between 500 and 505 commercial airplanes -- including approximately 25 Dreamliners -- and is essentially sold out. BCA's 2009 revenue is expected to grow to between $37 billion and $38 billion, accompanied by margins of approximately 11.5 percent. Boeing also expects to deliver more airplanes in 2010 than in 2009.

IDS revenue guidance for 2008 is $32 billion to $33 billion. Expected operating margins for IDS remain unchanged at approximately 10.5 percent, although the segment margins within IDS have been adjusted for 2008. For 2009, IDS expects revenue to grow to between $33.5 billion and $34.5 billion, with operating margins exceeding 10.5 percent.

Boeing's 2008 R&D forecast is between $3.6 billion and $3.8 billion. R&D spending in 2009 is expected to decline to between $3.1 billion and $3.3 billion. Annual capital expenditures are expected to be approximately $1.8 billion in 2008 and approximately $1.7 billion in 2009.

The company's non-cash pension expense is expected to be approximately $0.8 billion for 2008, falling to approximately $0.5 billion in 2009, although it may vary due to discount rates and investment returns. Discretionary cash funding of Boeing's pension plans is expected to be approximately $0.5 billion in 2008 (contributed during the first quarter) and 2009, although the company will continue to evaluate making additional discretionary contributions to its pension plans.

  Non-GAAP Measure Disclosure

Management believes that the non-GAAP (Generally Accepted Accounting Principles) measures (indicated by an asterisk *) used in this report provide investors with important perspectives into the company's ongoing business performance. The company does not intend for the information to be considered in isolation or as a substitute for the related GAAP measures. Other companies may define the measures differently. The following definitions are provided:

Free Cash Flow

Free cash flow is defined as GAAP operating cash flow less capital expenditures for property, plant and equipment additions. Management believes free cash flow provides investors with an important perspective on the cash available for shareholders, debt repayment, and acquisitions after making the capital investments required to support ongoing business operations and long term value creation. Free cash flow does not represent the residual cash flow available for discretionary expenditures as it excludes certain mandatory expenditures such as repayment of maturing debt. Management uses free cash flow internally to assess both business performance and overall liquidity. Table 2 provides a reconciliation between GAAP operating cash flow and free cash flow.
