The Boeing Company has announced it will recognize impacts to its financial results related to the IAM work stoppage and agreement, charges for certain Defense, Space & Security programs and costs associated with workforce reductions announced last year when it reports fourth quarter results on January 28. The company expects to report fourth quarter revenue of $15.2 billion, GAAP loss per share of ($5.46), and operating cash flow of ($3.5) billion. Cash and investments in marketable securities totaled $26.3 billion at the end of the quarter.
“Although we face near-term challenges, we took important steps to stabilize our business during the quarter including reaching an agreement with our IAM-represented teammates and conducting a successful capital raise to improve our balance sheet,” said Kelly Ortberg, Boeing president and chief executive officer. “We also restarted 737, 767 and 777/777X production and our team remains focused on the hard work ahead to build a new future for Boeing.”
Commercial Airplanes results will reflect impacts associated with the IAM work stoppage and agreement including lower deliveries and pre-tax earnings charges of $1.1 billion on the 777X and 767 programs. The 777X program pre-tax charge of $0.9 billion reflects higher estimated labor costs associated with finalizing the IAM agreement and will be incurred over the next several years. The company still anticipates first delivery of the 777-9 in 2026. Commercial Airplanes expects to report fourth quarter revenue of $4.8 billion and operating margin of (43.9) percent.
Defense, Space & Security expects to recognize pre-tax earnings charges of $1.7 billion on the KC-46A, T-7A, Commercial Crew, VC-25B, and MQ-25 programs. The KC-46A program pre-tax charge of $0.8 billion reflects higher estimated manufacturing costs, including impacts of the IAM work stoppage and agreement. The T-7A program pre-tax charge of $0.5 billion was primarily driven by higher estimated costs on production lots in 2026 and beyond. Defense, Space & Security expects to report fourth quarter revenue of $5.4 billion and operating margin of (41.9) percent.
