CHICAGO, Jan. 28 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- The Boeing Company's fourth-quarter net income declined to a loss of $56 million, or $0.08 per share, reflecting the now-settled machinists' strike (EPS impact estimated at $1.09 per share), a charge related to the 747 ($0.61 per share) and a litigation-related reserve ($0.09 per share).

Financial Presentation

Revenues for the quarter declined 27 percent to $12.7 billion, due primarily to the effects of the strike which reduced commercial airplane deliveries by approximately 70 units and revenues by an estimated $4.3 billion (Table 1).

For the full year of 2008, net income fell 34 percent to $2.7 billion, EPS was $3.71 per share, and revenue fell 8 percent to $60.9 billion. Full-year results were impacted by the strike, the 747 charge, the litigation-related reserve, and higher costs for AEW&C announced in the second quarter, which together reduced full-year EPS by an estimated $2.56 per share. This was partially offset by lower pension and deferred compensation expenses.

"The progress we made in many areas of Boeing during 2008 was outweighed by the impact of the strike and our performance on some key development programs," said Chairman, President, and Chief Executive Officer Jim McNerney. "Our imperative going forward is improving execution where it needs to be improved, maintaining strong performance across all our production programs, and preserving our financial strength to grow in these challenging economic times."

Fourth-quarter operating cash outflow was $1.6 billion, primarily reflecting the effects of the strike (Table 2). Operating cash outflow for the year was $0.4 billion, and free cash flow* was negative $2.1 billion. Total company backlog at year-end was a record $352 billion, up 8 percent in 2008 driven by commercial airplane orders and new IDS contract awards.

Segment Results

Commercial Airplanes

Boeing Commercial Airplanes (BCA) fourth-quarter revenues were $4.6 billion, 48 percent below the same period last year, driven by reduced deliveries due to the strike that affected production of all commercial airplane programs (Table 4). Losses from operations totaled $968 million compared with earnings of $973 million in the year-ago period. The strike reduced fourth-quarter earnings by an estimated $1.2 billion, net of recovery of galley-delayed deliveries from the third quarter, while a charge for a reach-forward loss on the 747 program reduced earnings by $685 million.

For the year, BCA revenues decreased 15 percent to $28.3 billion on an estimated 105 fewer airplane deliveries due to the strike. Operating earnings decreased 67 percent to $1.2 billion while margins were 4.2 percent, driven by the strike, infrastructure cost absorption and additional 747 program costs. The strike reduced full-year earnings by an estimated $1.8 billion.

BCA booked 44 gross orders during the quarter and 669 during the year. Contractual backlog rose to a record $279 billion, increasing 9 percent for the year to approximately eight times BCA's annual revenues.

As announced on November 14, the company expects deliveries of the 747-8 freighter to begin in the third quarter of 2010 and deliveries of the 747-8 Intercontinental passenger model to begin in the second quarter of 2011. The schedule change was caused by design changes, limited availability of engineering resources inside the company and the machinists strike. Since November, a full assessment of the supply chain impacts of these and other additional design changes, coupled with increased pension costs, has resulted in the company recording a reach-forward loss of $685 million in the fourth quarter.

The 787 Dreamliner made progress during the quarter despite the labor strike. Key milestones included FAA approval of the scheduled maintenance program that defines the tasks and service intervals operators will use to maintain the 787, and a successful wing-box destruction test, a key step toward validating the structural integrity of the airplane. Also during the quarter, the company discovered a requirement to replace certain fasteners, and has now largely finished replacing them on the first two flight test airplanes. As announced in December, the company expects first flight of the 787 to occur in the second quarter of 2009 and deliveries to begin in the first quarter of 2010. The 787 program has won 895 net orders from 58 customers to date, which includes the recent removal from the books of one customer's order for airplanes that were scheduled for delivery late in the next decade.

Integrated Defense Systems

Boeing Integrated Defense Systems (IDS) fourth-quarter revenues were $8.0 billion and operating margins were 11.0 percent, reflecting strong program performance across IDS's balanced portfolio of programs.

For the year, IDS revenue held steady at $32.0 billion with operating margins of 10.1 percent due to solid performance across IDS, including a reduction of 0.8 points due to the second-quarter AEW&C charge.

Boeing Military Aircraft fourth-quarter operating margins expanded to 11.2 percent for the quarter due to strong execution across aircraft production programs. Revenue of $3.2 billion is down from the prior year due to delivery mix and volume.

For the quarter, revenues in Network & Space Systems increased slightly to $2.9 billion. Operating margins were 8.0 percent on solid performance across the segment's broad array of programs. Ground-based Midcourse Defense successfully completed its most complex flight test to date, and Airborne Laser successfully completed the first ground test of the entire weapon system integrated aboard the aircraft.

Global Services & Support again generated strong results from its broad portfolio of programs. Revenues for the quarter rose to $2.0 billion on growth in training systems and integrated logistics. Operating margins were 14.8 percent reflecting outstanding execution.

The IDS backlog of $73.0 billion remained stable during the quarter and increased for the full year. Significant new orders during the year included V-22 and CH-47 multi-year contracts, the F-22 sustainment contract, and key international orders.

Boeing Capital Corporation

Boeing Capital Corporation (BCC) reported fourth-quarter pre-tax earnings of $26 million, down from $30 million in the same period last year which included a significantly larger portfolio (Table 6). BCC's portfolio balance at the end of the year was $6.0 billion, down from $6.5 billion at the beginning of the year primarily on normal portfolio run-off and depreciation. BCC contributed $32 million in cash dividends to Boeing during the quarter and $252 million in the year. 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 $59 million in the fourth quarter, down from $166 million in the same period last year which included higher environmental expense.

Unallocated expense was $85 million, down from $300 million last year, driven by unallocated pension expense being lower by $127 million. Other unallocated includes a $101 million litigation-related reserve.

Fourth-quarter pension expense was $113 million, down from $301 million in the same quarter last year, of which $14 million was recorded in unallocated expense and the balance was recorded as expense in the business segments. At year-end, Boeing's pension plans were funded at 83 percent of the projected benefit obligation resulting in a reduction of $8.2 billion to shareholders' equity.

Income tax benefit was $216 million in the quarter, including $170 million for the full-year R&D tax credit that was signed into law during the quarter.

Outlook

The 2009 financial guidance reflects expectations for continued growth in BCA and IDS, reduced discretionary and capital spending, and restructuring of various internal organizations to drive higher levels of productivity. The company expects to issue 2010 financial guidance later in the year.

Boeing's 2009 revenue guidance is $68 billion to $69 billion. Earnings- per-share guidance for 2009 is $5.05 to $5.35 per share. The financial guidance continues to assume stable delivery levels for in-production commercial airplanes over the next several years, but also considers operational and market risks. Operating cash flow is expected to be greater than $2.5 billion (Table 7), including discretionary pension contributions of approximately $0.5 billion and an assumption of $1 billion for new commercial airplane financings.

Commercial Airplanes' 2009 delivery guidance is between 480 and 485 airplanes and is sold out. BCA's 2009 revenue is expected to grow to between $34 billion and $35 billion, accompanied by margins of approximately 10 percent.

IDS revenue guidance for 2009 is between $33 billion and $34 billion, with operating margins of approximately 10 percent.

The company expects that it will finance some commercial airplane deliveries beginning in the first quarter of 2009. At this time, we expect that the amount of financing in 2009 will exceed normal portfolio runoff due to depreciation and prepayments, modestly increasing the portfolio size at BCC.

Boeing's 2009 R&D forecast is between $3.6 billion and $3.8 billion. Annual capital expenditures are expected to be approximately $1.4 billion in 2009.

The company's non-cash pension expense is expected to be approximately $1.0 billion in 2009, reflecting negative asset returns in 2008, a reduction in the assumed long-term rate of return from 8.25 percent to 8.0 percent and a decrease in the discount rate to 6.1 percent from 6.2 percent.

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.
